Heya Folks!

I purchased a roll of 1956 Halves several years ago on a whim, put them away and completely forgot about them until a few days ago. I pulled them from the safe and took a look at them and thought they may be worthy of grading. I don't have much knowledge about Canadian coins so I figured I would get your opinions! Here are two examples from the roll. Let me know what you think!

Here's a couple lower light pics to help the grading.

The main questions here is... Should they be third party graded? I cant really find much on value/pricing for Canadian Halves.

Both looks MS, as the others said, pictures are washed out and don't show surfaces. No way of distinguishing accurate grade. But I'd the one on the right is nicer than the one on the left, perhaps 64 and the one on the left maybe 61 or 62.

These are typical MS 62 or 63 coins by the look of it. Not worth the grading fees. You will get the same price raw.
