I have had this set for 2 months and thought this was a nick in the plastic holder. 2 large indentations. 1 w/2 S's other with 1. My hands shake and have had trouble taking pictures.

I do not have much money and was wondering if this could be valuable. Is it worth the cost of being graded?

Without clearer photos, there is no way we can help you.
We have to be able to see all the detail.
Try steadying your camera on something like a book to to take your pictures.

In order for the areas in question to be mintmarks, would require they are raised from the fields like the original mint mark, and also being the same size as the normal mintmark. If they are incuse, they are damage on the coin. If they are not incuse, but not raised, they maybe a stain on the fields of a coin. So far there has never been one reported with extra mintmarks. But clearer images will help us see what you see.

At first glance they are just indentations. But inside the indentions the S type mark is raised. All depends on angle and light. The set is still sealed.

Looks like they are not raised like a mintmark would normally be. Why do my images look so pixelated? Because the images are too small. When enlarged they break up. You need larger sized images so you don't need to magnify them, or enlarge the coin to get a larger base image of what you are trying to show us. (Magnification on the area in question)
