[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 216283, member: 705"]You don't need to get them graded by a grading company to know what they are worth. Before you buy any more coins I would strongly suggest taking some time and buying some books on grading----ANA Grading Guide and Photograde and PCGS's guide. Grading isn't something that can be picked up overnight but takes long and hard study. But the books will help you get an idea at least of the grades....then you can check out online price guides such as Heritage for the date and mintmark of your coin in that grade and find out what they have been selling for. That will save you a TON of money rather than sending them to NGC. Let me add---I send coins to NGC myself---but only when I'm pretty sure of what it is going to grade and only when it is worth it....such as, I bought a 1926-S Buff nickel graded F15, and worth about $100.....I was pretty sure that it was VF20 and sent it off...I was right and later sold the coin for $250.
