<p>[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 2774149, member: 84179"]A good general rule: Just about anything you find in change or bank rolls will not be worth sending in to a TPG (third party graders). Modern coins usually need to be in extremely high grade, with sharp strikes and no marks. Coins that have seen minor circulation or have been in contact with other coins will not meet the high standards. Even a nice shiny new cent that is 40-50 years old is rarely worth more than a buck and most times, only slightly over face value.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are some specific varieties and major errors that are worth sending in, but the odds of finding them are high. Keep learning about what is rare and how to spot errors. It takes time and there are no short cuts, but the more you read, the more you learn[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
