Gigi2 Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 09/24/2025 4:14 pm I've had this collection forever. Was given to me by a relative in the early 80s...along with several other cases and books. I am thinking about breaking cases up and sending some of the best to a TPG. The 64, 76, and 82 look really good. Of course the 1916 Barber and 29 Standing Liberty not so much. Opinions about which, if any, are worth the cost of grading? If there is one that you might think would, I can send more photos. Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4474 Posts	Posted 09/24/2025 4:21 pm The cases are purely after they left the mint and rarely add value. Sometimes the information is kind of neat. But the cardboard is rarely archival and to toning - terminal even - isn't uncommon. The coins are often polished to look pretty. All of which cautions you that the coins may be little better than junk and nothing would be worth the expense of grading. Free retail (what you would pay in a nice coinshop) price guide: https://www.numismedia.com/rarecoin...es/fmv.shtml The 1982 proof -- if it grades PF69 -- retail is $18.75. 1964 quarter, MS65, also $18.75. 1976 in MS65, $13.75. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
