nice, glad to know! I swapped it out for a nickel in my pocket because I saw the date on it, I just assumed all nickels had 0 silver content.
i also have a 1948 and a 1953, cointracker says the 1948 is worth $1.50, why is that if it has no silver in it? did they not make a lot of these?

rarity and quality also add to the value.
If the 1945-S was in mint state, it could be worth close to $8

I don't know about grading prices, but you could post some good pictures in the grading section and CCF members could give you an estimate that's very close.

TPG service costs depend on how many coins you submit, which service you submit them to and what "level" you use, which depends on the estimated value of the coin and how quickly you want the coins back. For example, to submit these coins to PCGS costs at least $30 each; that's not counting shipping each way and the cost of joining their "Collectors Club" if you to choose not to submit them via an "Authorized Dealer".
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Nice finds! Personally, I would not worry about getting them graded. Enjoy them as they are. |

Aye I agree. In those grades, enjoy them as-is. No need to get a TPG involved. :-) |

PCGS and NGC make you pay 50 a year to submit directly to them, while you can submit through dealers to avoid that fee. If you go the cheapest service route its 15 a coin at PCGS for a modern with and 8 dollar handling fee and another 10-20 return shipping. http://www.pcgs.com/gradinglist.html |

I always suggest to new members that want to send coins in to be graded to post pictures of said coins here first. When I first started collecting I had a bunch of coins I wanted to send in for grading because I was sure they were high grade gems. All came back as cleaned with detail grades. I think a lot of collectors just starting out want to go through the experience of having a coin graded. Who can blame them, it is exciting, though it can be very costly in the long run.
