I started just collecting a little over 2 years ago. My dad collected a little bit just out of his change. He passed away from Cancer, So I decided to try to keep it going. I have tried to collect a year of the JFK half dollars, I have 1964-2001, and a few after 2001. Need like 9 more. I have some Indian heads, old nickels and a few dimes. I just not sure whats the best thing to collect that isn't real expensive and be worth it down the road. I know silver coins are the best. But I just collect for fun to. So I don't know if I should collect more of these are nickels, or pennies, or dimes. Lol.

I asked a guy from a coin shop here in town and the only one what it might be worth, he said maybe $4 to $5, of course that was just pics from a email sent to him. I don't know if I really trust the guy or not. I been thinking of collect Eisenhowers, just didn't know if the uncirculated ones would be worth it down the road or not. I think they are cool coins.

I would not send it for grading. It is a high cost, low gain scenario. You have a nice coin, enjoy as it is.  |

It costs, well it did a few years ago when I did it around $70 for a year subscription which included 2 free gradings. But that didn't cover the cost of shipping and you ALWAYS insure. So for a $15 coin to spend $100 wouldn't be cost effective at all. If you want to send it in, find a local coin shop that'll do it for you, and they may charge you like $20 or something.

INB; another unauthorized third party grading system.
HOWEVER, this one is relatively close. Beautiful coin, definitely a PF-68 or PF-69 still, not quite a 70 though.
