inherited a bunch of coins, so I'm new to this. Got about 20 silver dollars. Pictured here are probably the best looking ones. Should I bother to grade them to sell on ebay? I'm headed to a coin dealer this week to exchange about 100 silver dimes, and I figured I'd have them take a look at these dollars as well. Perhaps they would send them for grade for me in a batch order? Based on some quick ebay research, looks like a VF-20 Peace dollar sells around $20, with AU-50 sells around $30.      *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***

As a general rule (as I understand it from other threads), if the value is less than $100, it's not worth submitting for grading.
Sometimes it's done for sentimental, authenticity, preservation or other reasons, but for common dates in circulated condition (and I'm not saying yours are), I lean towards "no".

Grading the pictured coins would be a waste of money. Most honest dealers will advise the same.

Common circulated coins not worth spending the money on TPG slabbing. |

Most of these aren't worth much, and the 1979 SBA (which isn't silver) is only worth face. |

 and welcome. The retail of these coins is far less than the grading fee. |

I don't think that grading by a TPG adds much to these coins and would not come close to recouping the costs. Retail for the Peace dollars would be approx. $17 each and the 1921 Morgan dollar would retail for $22-25. The Susan B. Anthony dollar is worth $1. Remember that these are retail values and a coin dealer would offer substantially less since they are in business for profit. |

Unless you think silver will head up, sell!
