<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 2918428, member: 31533&quot;]It&#039;s normal to first think you are finding quality coins, grade wise and that any errors you find must be really worth while and maybe even sent to a grading company. But take it from me, it takes years of looking at coins in hand to be really comfortable deciding if a &#039;common&#039; coin should go to a grading company. Most times it will be no and I will never recommend sending one to a grading company on your own unless you get lots of experience. Besides, if you really come on here with one that everyone is saying yes to, at that point, if you are not experienced, you should hold on to it and IMO find a reputable dealer to handle it for you, first to look it over in hand and second to possibly help initially grade and estimate the value. </p><p><br /></p><p>Your best bet at this point, if you want to continue, is to buy safe flips or 2x2&#039;s and simply keep the coins you think have a value in those. Then find a way to start learning to grade your coins. There are really good books available with pics and all. Go to shows and then look at graded coins in the type you most like to learn and compare that to the ones you have (you will have to simply remember what you saw, because unless you are buying, you won&#039;t be taking the slabbed coin home). You also might bring a couple of coins you think are graded such and such along and see what the dealers think. They might actually have time and inclination to assist you in learning something.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
