<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 22785, member: 112&quot;]Howdy yoda3001 - Welcome to the Forum !!</p><p><br /></p><p>If I may, I would suggest that you do not worry too much about having the coins for your son&#039;s collection graded. It can prove to be a huge expense and the vast majority of the time the coins are not worth it. In other words - you could never sell the coins for it cost you to have them graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having modern coins graded should only be attempted by those who can grade the coins themselves before sending them in to a grading company. You need to be pretty sure that the coin will achieve the grade that will make it worth the cost. Otherwise you are just throwing money away.</p><p><br /></p><p>But your best chance of acquiring the coins of the best overall quality is to buy the annual Mint &amp; Proof sets. Now you can buy them directly from the Mint every year - typically the cheapest method. Or you can visit a local dealer and search the sets he has for sale looking for those of only the highest quality. But doing this requires you to have a certain knowledge of the coins to be judge the quality. And since you are just starting out - it is doubtful you have this knowledge.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I would suggest that you just buy the coins from the Mint every year. Good luck - I wish you and your son the best&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Maybe you could have him join the Forum - he&#039;d have fun here&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
