[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 5373303, member: 105098"]your coins, do what you like, they are shiny, that's about it, and while "shiny" might get you some brownie points, the flat spots around lincolns ears are gonna get you AU at best for a grade back and a value of roughly 3 cents after grading. Now, People grade things for a host of reasons. you can do what you like as I said previously, Personally none of them are candidates for a high grade or even Mint state grade. and for that reason, not worth the expense to get them graded. However, maybe it was a gift from granpappy, or some other reason why you'd want to spend the money. Ill tell you what, split the difference, send them to ANACS, they have an authenticate, grade, and encapsulate 12 coins for $119 special going, including FREE return shipping, you can get a dozen of your speculations out of the way on the cheap ($10 each) and it won't hurt so much. offer expires on January 09, 2021. so you'd need to hurry of course, but ANACS is always running a special a few times a year. Anyays, it's somewhere around $12 per coin for ICG, and probably around $25 a coin for PCGS (and you need to a membership) or NGC $17-22 each plus shipping. If you're gonna gamble and play with grading, I'd do it as cheaply as possible and learn from it. But it's all up to you of course.[/QUOTE]
