No, it would not be worth grading these as the 83s would be worth about $5, the 58 cent about $10-$15 if it graded well, and the dime around $25. So no, it is not worth paying $50+ per coin to get graded.

The short answer is to only get coins graded if you think the TOTAL cost of grading the coin is less than how much extra value grading will add to the value of the coin. You first should check the individual coin value on PCGS or NGC price guide and determine what value it might have after grading all the certain grades. Compare that to the total cost of grading the coin (which might be spread out slightly if grading numerous coins at once). If most of the grades values it may be graded as are all above cost of grading then it makes sense to grade regardless, with a hope that the higher grade will return even higher value of the coin. With modern coins however, you may only get a return beyond the grading fees if it grades a very high grade only and actually LOSE if its not, and heres where many people might make mistakes. There is certainly no guarantee you would get a 65 or higher. Obviously if you have the best of the best and get a 66 or 67 or 68 then you are getting a tremendous return on your investment in some cases but you have to check its potential value, and have some decent understanding of grading so you are not sending in low grades expecting a top grade. Then you are welcome to speculate (a bit like gambling) but I would not do this often as more often than not you will lose until you have good grading skills.

Excellent!! That makes sense, thank you for your responses..I might do the dime and the quarter just in case to keep them uncirculated, but man...the camera does no justice on those pretty red pennies. Thank you though, I wouldn't want to waste the money!!

The dime looks to be a polished circulated coin and the quarter looks like the reverse has been altered with some sort of colorization. If so, the dime is worth around silver melt value and the quarter is worth a quarter.

Ahh... they only take coins in a natural state? Makes sense actually. So no coatings or colors? The quarter is a 24k plated color quarter, so I wasn't sure.

Save the money and buy some graded PCGS, or NGC coins instead, and compare to what you have rather than if you spend the money to get it graded.
I agree the dime has problem from these pictures.
