<p>[QUOTE=&quot;orifdoc, post: 2582563, member: 82261&quot;]It&#039;s not a stupid question.&nbsp; We all started this hobby as newbies and it&#039;s nice to see new people joining the hobby.&nbsp; In general, I&#039;d only recommend sending in coins for grading if they&#039;re worth $100-200, and then only if you&#039;re looking to sell them in the near future.&nbsp; These are all circulated common-date coins and aren&#039;t worth much more than the dealer offered you (maybe a bit more).</p><p><br /></p><p>By the time you pay for postage both ways, the submission fees, grading fees, and have them out of your possession for a month or two (or more), it&#039;s hard to see the benefit to you.&nbsp; If these are the type of coins you generally collect, don&#039;t worry so much about the grading game and just have fun buying and enjoying them.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you eventually want to own coins with a significant numismatic premium, stick to buying coins already in TPG slabs, at least until you gain enough experience to be ahead of the game.&nbsp; There are lots of folks willing to take advantage of newbies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
