im not a true collector. I have a almost full penny book from 1909-2013. Mostly I collect silver coins , half dollars, quarters, dimes. mostly just junk silver. i have rotating craigs list postings saying ill buy coins and I mention what years and types. yesterday I lady called me said she had some coins and wanted to sale them. so she sent me pictures and we made a deal for $750 i know I got a heck of a deal 35 Morgan dollars (mostly O and blank mintmarks) one S mint 3 Peace dollars (all 3 blank mint) 12 silver eagles 3 90% silver halfs 1 40% silver half 31 1979 s Susan B Anthony dollar coins only 4 of the Morgan dollars have extensive ware. the rest look to be in very good condition and I would say 10 look to be in extremely good condition. should I get them graded or not is my true question. I know grading can increase the value and chances of sale of coins. I dont plan on selling the coins any time soon but is it worth it. none of the coins are rare dates or beyond average coins... except the condition of them. *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

 You will find out quickly that a picture says 1000 words! Please send good quality photos of your coins for everyone to help you out. |

How about reverse pictures please. So we know if the 1897 is a Philly or New Orleans etc.

You should edit your post with the obverse pictures to add the images of the reverse so you/we can match up the images per coin

am I just posting too many? I just dont know anything about this stuff... ive never cared about condition before.... so I'm just clueless about this stuff... I'm going to be in vegas this thursday to saturday and I saw that PCGS is going to be at the venetian and they are doing grading but its just not cheap and I didnt know if any of them I should take and have them grade them.... also I was looking at the memberships and christ they dont go cheap.

No I personally wouldn't get any graded. There are no rarer dates and all tend to fall in the VF to a
Low AU range. Save your money. Keep them as they are.

Ditto. A nice group for the price but none appear to deserve the cost of TBG.

Alternatively, if you are set on grading ANACS has a deal going on for $140 for 15 coins including shipping

You got a great deal on that lot, but  not worth grading any of them. |

As a rule of thumb, I feel if a coin is worth less than about $200 it isn't worth having graded as you are unlikely to get a premium for having them graded larger than the actual cost of the grading itself. The only exception might be for specific ones known to have a very high number of counterfeits (like Trade dollars). I don't think any of your coins would fall into that category. That's not to detract from your great deal though! |
