Newbee trying to make an educated decision on coins to get graded

I am wondering which coins to get graded. I have some with errors and some in beautiful condition. I will upload some images of errors

Welcome to CT, Tina!
The coins you have posted are not errors and will not grade high enough to warrant the cost of grading.
You have much to learn before you start sending coins for grading.
Sending them for grading in order to learn will be an expensive lesson.
Get a copy of the Red Book. Use it.
Learn how coins are minted so you can learn to spot true errors.
Post pics and ask questions here.

 

As said above. The 1963 is damage and took a direct post mint hit. The 1954 die chip is very nice but not worth the expense of having graded.

 

Thanks I will do that.

 

So I have a few coins like the 54 die chip.if I wanted to sell a coin without a grading how should I do that?

 

Die chips are a very common occurrence from worn dies, and while very interesting and collectible, they do not have much of a selling value overall. They are considered minor errors. Best as a keeper as if you sell on ebay or such your fees would outweigh any pay back. A dealer would also not give you very much over 50 cents for this either. Sorry to be the bearer of this kind of news but do keep it for yourself.

 

Welcome to CoinTalk. Selling coins is always problematic, even for those who do it as a business. Venues to sell would include e-bay, but that demands some work. If you have a dealer around, perhaps you should talk to them.

 

Sorry for repeating... didn't see my comment there for a moment

 

I am pretty sure that your Benjamin Franklin half-dollar is just a scratch not a crack a crack would appear to be a mountain not a valley

 

First, welcome to the neighborhood, Tina.

As the others have said, you would be wasting your money submitting any of these for grading.

I'd also like to make one other suggestion. If you've never read the book, "Strike it Rich With Pocket Change"............DON'T!

Isn't that the one that's confusing everyone on their description of the 1988 with the reverse of a 1989 penny. Calling it a WAM when it's just a transitional design change for the FG?

 

A coin should be worth X amount before it's even considered to be graded.
(I have heard at least $200.) Because, let's say you grade a $100 coin. After grading fees and shipping, insurance etc, you have another $30+ into it which will never be recouped.

 

What the book is doing is misleading everyone who knows absolutely NOTHING about coin collecting into believing that they have hit the motherlode.

Kind of like these youtubers that mislead me too haha.
