Just worth repeating: grading is not the right liquidation approach for most coins worth less than $100-150. For nice coins like yours that have collector value and silver value, you can make considerably more profit by selling them raw on ebay, on this forum, or other venues (probably not your LCS).
That idea finally took root for me when I realized that you could buy an uncirculated 1954-S nickel DDR for only $10 more than the grading fees (not including shipping and insurance), but sell it for $35-45 raw on ebay.
