to CCF. None of them are worth the cost of slabbing them. Modern cent need to be at least MS67 and none of your coins are.

to the CCF!!

the first one has what appears to be linear plate bubbling by the eye which detracts from the value and the second one looks like there's glue on it which makes it worth 1¢. None of these are worth slabbing because as John said they would need to be at least MS67 or higher in order to have any value.

Hi there new member.
Allow me to explain, you may already know this, or not. Either way this is worthwhile to write.
Grading coins costs money. Real money. Depending on factors, but somewhere between $10 and $100 per coin. So you need to calculate your best case scenario with those coins, even if they are MS65, they will be saleable for less than the money that you put into them. As prior members have mentioned, you would need exceptionally high grades for a modern coin to be worth grading. Even most coins that come straight from a mint roll, will not make the grade. You can obviously choose to submit any coin you want, but it would not be financially smart.

Your 1970 looks low MS. Is that a fingerprint on the obverse?

The question I would ask you, Mrzllewellyn, is why do you want your coins graded? I assume as everyone else does, that this means graded and slabbed by a Third Party Grader ( TPG).

The merits of TPGs are hotly debated in the coin community, and I will certainly not open that can of worms, but some of the reasons are:

1. Authenticating the coin/ variety
2. Getting a coin with a higher than expected or very high grade
3. Protecting the coin
4. For fun/ competition (registry sets)

In the case of reasons 1 and 2, the motivation may be reselling the items at a profit, if the collector was able to get a good price/ coin with unrecognized value. In any case, grading and slabbing by a credible TPG will always make an item easier to sell.

Anyone is capable of learning to assign a grade to a coin without professional help, and there are supplies out there for protecting a coin from the elements. It is also generally possible to get free authentication of a coin/ variety (such as from this forum) unless you insist on 100% certainty. So unless you are planning to resell an item, or want to purchase an expensive item with doubtful authenticity, I see no great need for grading/ slabbing.

You have been given solid advice on the relative merits of 3rd party grading ( TPG). Not by any means financially worthwhile for this set of cents.
