No harm in opening the bag to get a better look.
But unless they are a high grade, MS66, MS67,
it will cost more to have them graded then what they are worth.

 Incredible long shot here. Many submitted, a tiny number make the grade. We'll need some sharp large pics of both sides to evaluate these. |

Those coins look like the typical reprocessed 1943 cents that Littleton is notorious for sending out. Not worth getting graded.
Notice there is no mention of "uncirculated" or "reprocessed" on the packaging. They are trying to make the buyer think they are getting a good deal.
Reprocessed cents are considered "culls" to me.

If they're Littleton, I'd be almost certain they're replated. I bet the toning is real though - mine have some incredible rainbow colors. |

I generally agree. I would not have any of those graded.

Go ahead and open the bag,it adds no value to the coins anyway. Check to see if they are indeed re-plated. John1  |

As you've heard, if from Littleton, not worth sending in for grading to anyone.

Why are you so anxious to send something in for grading? It's expensive, the results are generally unpredictable and the wait is excruciating the first couple of times.
You can purchase PCGS graded MS66 examples of the three coins in that bag for about 60 bucks, about the cost of grading just one of those coins yourself.

with this as well. I love my slabbed Ikes. I have never sent one in for grading though. Probably never will. Let someone else take the "hit" from the time and expense.  |

I wouldn't worry too much about sending your first coin off to be graded. While it can be fun and exciting, it's often expensive and you don't always get the result you were hoping for.

ANACS charges around $60 per submission. At least that's what mine will cost, grading fees/return shipping. So the above advice should be heeded if you're looking for a short term return on investment. As for the other TPG's, most require a membership, along with the grading it might cost more. Great coins though! Tough to find without starting to rust. ANA member - PAN Member - BCCS Member There are no problems only solutions - the late, great John Lennon

nfine says it well. There are umpty thousands of TPG coins and notes available for sale that don't even reflect the original submission cost because of how comparatively common they are.  |
