Thanks mendelman! I'll keep the blurry nickel as an obvious example of an error coin.

Thanks jbuck! Its been a good nickel week so far! Do you think coins like the last one I posted are worth having graded and then potentially selling? ebay? |

Well, I do not sell coins and I am not a fan of slabs, so I might not be the right one to ask.  For what it is worth, I think it would sell on its own, no need for a TPG approval. |

Agrippa - you may want to take a shot at grading yourself. As you'll see on ebay, lots of folks don't even post a grade, but price it as if they had. That puts the onus on the buyer to establish the grade and determine if the asking price is fair or where to clip the bidding (or where you set your reserve). Getting a TPG on a common coin may be a pricey endeavor (especially if you use one of the Big 3 I suspect, but I've never done it) so your ability to reclaim those costs may be impossible. Better to turn this part over to the folks who regularly use TPGs. |

Thanks for the advice! I just got my first set of Whitman folders yesterday! I think what I am going to do, is fill my album/folder with the best quality coins I can find and then sell the leftovers. I don't think I want to hold onto lots of extras. I know absolutely nothing about the grading thing. I did a little looking into it and it seems expensive. However, as I look on ebay, it seems like the coins that are graded are getting a higher final sale price....or am I looking at it wrong? I don't see many high quality coins for sale that aren't graded. Any help, guidance, or advice would be appreciated. |

Agrippa - Here's a link to get you started: http://varietynickels.com/pages/jef.../grading.phpPractice here with a coin you have. Make your determination and then post a pic of it in the grading forums - test how you do at setting a grade. Plenty of practice and you'll be on your way. Good luck!! |

My bank forgot to order my halves last week so I picked up a box of nickels and cents. This was my 6th box of nickels and had my first Buffalo nickel from circulation!! It's a full date 1936-S. I also found several common pre-1960 nickels, but no silver. |
