Hello, this is my first post here. I received a small box of coins in an inheritance. Mostly silver dollars, about 50 of them. I have done what research I can and ascertained that by date and or mint I don't have anything rare. However the one last question for me would be condition - I really don't know how to tell if any are valuable based on their condition or not. I understand that I can upload photos here, but how should I do that, in small lots of a certain amount of coins or one at a time? Thank you for your time.  |

 to CCF. One coin per thread please,full coin photo obverse and reverse as well as any needed close ups. As to sending them in,it needs to have a retail value after slabbing of $150-200 to justify all costs involved in sending it in. John1  |

Do you know of this site...PCGSPhotograde.com...check it out, study the highest MS stated coin (examine all the small details) and see how much is missing on your coins. Then you can get a comparison by going down in grades and ask members here if they agree when you post your coins to CCF...have fun....  |

Thread rules notwithstanding, if you do not have anything rare or valuable in the box, the only criteria you need to meet in order to justify the cost on encapsulation is whether the coin's current state of preservation is sufficient to make encapsulation profitable were you to sell the coin. Coins that do not meet the TERMINAL GRADE, that is the lowest grade possible for the submission to be profitable, do not need to be professionally graded.
Judging by the photograph, your coins appear to be a mixture of circulated coins of various types and would be worth a small premium over their basal value.

there could be something good in here worth grading, the Morgan dollar at the bottom left give me hope there might be some nice condition barely circulated in here, the Eisenhower dollars (top of the picture) are likely clad and just worth a dollar unless in pristine condition. But there might be something in the Morgan and Peace dollars worth doing. the morgan and Peace dollars are worth at least the silver, and there's a premium above that still, but there could be something there that has good condition still or a better mintmark like if the 1921 Morgan is a D or an S and in good condition, like MS64 or higher normally. As stated, when you have some time, pick one that catches your eye and you are curious about. take good in focus pictures of it, front and back, the entire coin, and put it up here for us to take a look at. I mean there are even the VAMs to look for , the Die varieties, might be something there in that box. |

Okay I guess it's only one image, one SIDE per post? Anyway, here's coin 1 obverse.  |

That would be both sides of one coin per post. A few additional photos of same coin if needed to show a particular detail or two.

Under "reply to topic", I'm allowed to type but can't upload another image. I have removed pop-up blockers for http://www.coincommunity.com but to no avail. |

Typically it is one topic per coin with photos of the obverse and reverse, in the appropriate grading forum. For coin types prior to modern issues, you should post the images to the classic coin grading forum so that is where I would recommend posting your morgan and Peace dollar photos for grading. |

Also worth noting that even if the date and mint mark combination are not valuable, some die variations are so it can still be valuable to get feedback on the coin. VAM collecting is still an emerging trend, as were mintmarks once upon a time, so rare VAM varieties that might not command price premiums today could be very valuable in future years. In addition, cool or unusual toning can also add a premium to a coin. Some collectors just adore rainbow colored toning, for example, even on common dates and will pay into the hundreds of dollars for a nicely toned example. |
