<p>[QUOTE="petro89, post: 1598777, member: 17048"]I just checked out your IHC pics and I think the 1904 may be a candidate, but the rest are AU's. They are nice coins, but again, not really worth slabbing unless they are a better date. Don't be discouraged though! You have a lot of nice coins. Just take a little more time to learn the little nuances in the series you like, and know what the common factors are that distinguish an MS coin from an AU. And don't take another person's word for it when they are trying to sell you something - chances are they are "spicing things up" a little bit. And in this hobby, that little extra "spice" can take a lot of money out of your pockets! Also, there is nothing wrong with grading coins...its a great idea if its worthwhile or warranted. But don't pursue this hobby if you are out to make money, cause most of the time you won't. Do it because you like it. It sounds like you do though, so thats good. Oh, and don't hesitate to ask any other questions here![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
