" To Slab or not to Slab"?

Lots of "Raw" Coins! Any advice from you all?

Here I sit after Christmas looking at what I have and seeing what high grade coins are bringing, I wonder if I should send them in to the only two grading services I trust. This being NGC and PCGS. I bought two rolls of 1955-D washington quarters almost twenty years ago and just recently unwrapped them. I did not find any multi-colored toning, quite the contrary they are all "blast white". From the looks of them I dont think any would grade less than MS65 and the great majority would go MS66 & MS67 Now I am not a grader by any means and I am only going by what I see in the digital pictures at "Teletrade" The value of these low mintage quarters in high mint state grades, make the idea very tempting. I also have a mint roll of every Silver Eagle from 1986 on and I wonder how many 70's may be in those rolls. The few that I have opened (only two) appear to be perfect coins but what would the graders think. Along with the above there are all the Proof Silver Eagles I have from 1986 on, could these coins that look perfect to me be worth sending in as well? And last but not least all the mint and proof sets in clad and silver from 1950 on. This is such a hard decision as to send all of these in would cost a "small fortune". But if half came back with the grade they appear to be, this would be a "large fortune" I really dont want to "disturb" the rolls, nor do I want to "break open" the plastic but in order to get them graded that is what I would have to do. Anyway I suppose I will dwell on this for the rest of the year at least. I do hope all of you had a great Christmas and will have a safe New Year. Happy collecting to all!!! W.K.F.
