1986 1990 1991 (Lmc) Grading? Or Help On Condition

Those are all "nice" coins indeed. But I must inquire of why you are saving these. Not to be a neggo-nilly, but you do need a specific goal. Is it for your collection, such as upgrading existing coins? Or perhaps with the possible attempt at resale? Or just for the **** of it? Nothing wrong with any of those reasons, but do go into each venture 'with your eyes open", know why behind it and any drawbacks/benefits involved.

First, coins gleaned from a circulated means, pocket change, bank rolls (other than original wrapped issues) are just that, circulated, with blemishes and "toning" that will not be a high grade coin anymore. For the most part, I personally figure all contemporary coins (post 1964) as a dividing line as for values. Any coins after that date have been put up in high mint state condition by collectors back when making any circulated issues worth a lot less, not "worthless", just less overall values in lower grades.

From your pix, any pix in general it is really hard to put a totally accurate grade unless a coin is in hand under a 10x loupe. I have many coins I sell, where I try my best to present the coin as is hand, luster, blemishes or not, but unless you have the megadollar rig, you just can't get it like I see it. I don't know where your coins were acquired, which to me is of prime importance. An original wrapped roll (OBW), as put together from original shipment bags from the mint, or re-wrapped from a bank collection through armored car companies.

One can determine the difference between a Mint State coin and a circulated Issue AU. I am a "purist", one of a few who consider a coin that has been rewrapped and redistributed as a circulated coin, no matter how it may look. I have indeed seen many nice coins like yours above in Brinks or Guarda sourced rolls, I consider these AU at best. They have been subjected to handling of some sort, human touch puts adverse oils upon coins and can transfer upon contact with others, dirty coins so to speak as a rotten potato ruins it's brothers. You'll find vast disagreement here, you gotta choose. I check my sources before determining mint state coins.

Second point, newer contemporary coins are NOT big resellers unless higher than MS66. But then you get into the "pop" values of coins, how many of this grade has the TPG certified, etc. Is this pop figure low enough to warrant the cost of "sending it in"? Most often not, far from any profit/value senario. Most folks set a limit of "Is the coin worth $150-200? before considering a submission. LMCs are most often FAR from this figure onless in a MS68 or above, and these don't show up in circulation...much, it may happen with a "idiot relative bank dump", but I consider those coins ruined then.

You have to decide why and what for you save these. There are some years, of stinkin zinkins of the 80's worth their weight in silver if in a roll of "BU's" (1986/88)others are only worth a buck per roll...go figure. I had hoarded copper and zincs in exceptional condition until realizing to me it wasn't worth the time and effort, used the face value to invest in coins of worth.

I guess I got caught up in the hype after searching on youtube and finding several channels boasting of these amazing coins you can find in your pocket change...and showing what they sold for at auction..I figured that I had a few pennies, quarters, nickels and dime and proceeded to weed through and found some older ones even a penny from 1919.. I didn't know how to go about posting them for sale and found that the ones sold for the big money were graded and also found that grading can get expensive in fact that's how I found this site...it was mentioned if help was needed in determining to have the coin graded or not come to this site post pictures and sthomeone would reply. really appreciate the input because it was starting to get a little more involved trying to sort them out..High grade, possibe error coins...I would rather dump them all in coinstar and get a Amazon gift card. However I would like to ask what I should do with all the foreign coins tokens and a few specials ie: Kennedy half dollar, 2 dollar bill, 1776-1976 bicentennial quarter susan b dollar saca that I have been holding onto forever it seems.

You can keep any coins that you want to for just the "neat" coin factor. I have a binder full of "neat" coins that I am adding to. I have found some RPM's and doubled dies. I also found an impaired proof coin while coin roll hunting.

Of course, the Amazon gift card option works too.

Akaterri, the coins you mentioned holding on to, the bicentennials, the SBAs, all these because of population(mintages) were put up in higher grades by collectors back then, and the market now is in what is known as "saturation". The point where there are more nicer grade coins available per buyers of them. That drives prices down, so any less than the best(below MS 66) has little value and horrible resale. Keep them if you like them, but do realize that there is little intrinsic value or investment potential. Like I said above, I had over $100 in very nice circulated copper Cents, and $50 in AU/MS stinkin zinkins that I got rid of and used that cash to fund coins of worth.
