    Suggest for awhile that you post a clear photo of each coin that you think is worth submitting and we have many knowledgeable people on here you can tell you if it is worth the cost or not to have graded.
    So many new collectors get damage and anomalies mixed up with true errors which are extremely hard to find in the wild and they want to submit them for grading which is just a waste of money. It can only be an error if it happens during the striking of the coin, anything that happens after that it’s is damage which in 99% of the time is the case.
    Look at this site to see what actual errors are and see if you have anything that looks like them.  error-ref.com

    Welcome to the ChatBoards
    To answer you second question first, google ”NGC Dealers” and enter your address, it will give you   
    the closet dealer to where you live.
    Hoghead covered it pretty good. It will cost around $60.00 to have a coin graded so unless you have a high grade
    (which I doubt you have if they are in a jar) or a rare error or variety, it would certainly not be worth the cost to grade.  
    Suggest if there is anything you think is worth grading, post a clear photo of both sides on this site, each coin on it’s own thread and there will be someone hear that can tell you if it is worth grading or to save your money.

    This is probably the most asked question on any coin forum.  
    If you are looking for a Small Date 1982D copper cent, then the correct answer. 
    is don’t waste your time, you won’t find one, spend your energy elsewear.

    You have this posted on three different forums and none are the right one.  
    This should be posted on the “Ask NGC/NCS” forum, they will be able to give you the answer.

    Greenstang got a reaction from Henri Charriere in 1965 D penny   
    So what the OP is telling us is that the mint made a 1965D die, produced a rare cent then retired the die?
    If they had made such a die, there would have been close to a million struck and I am sure more would
    have surfaced by now.

    Welcome to the Chat Board
    You should really start your own post instead of piggybacking on an old one.  
    This only causes confusion.
    As far as your 1920S cent goes, it is just a corroded wheatie, hence the lighter weight  
    and has no numismatic value in that condition.

    Greenstang got a reaction from NeverEnoughCoins09 in 1942-P Jefferson Nickel is this a rotated die?   
    There is a ding on the steps about 1/3 in from the left that would negate a FS designation

    Greenstang got a reaction from GoldFinger1969 in Came from unopened 1800’s coin roll never circulated or cleaned. Thoughts?   
    It is a nice uncirculated Morgan but it is certainly not a MS70 ( I don’t know of any Morgan that is). 
    and I can’t see any sign of a Lamination error. Not sure where somebody got that info from.

    Not an error, it is 100% damage. There is no way that could happen during the striking of the coin.  
    Looks like some one has tried to cut it with something like wire cutters or tin snips.

    Please include the year in your heading.  
    There are some years that are expected to have FS and therefore would not be attributed
    as well as there are years where it is nearly impossible to find a FS.

    As per your previous thread on another site,  it is not an error, it is still damage.  
    An error can only occur during the minting process and there is nothing in the 
    process that would cause this to happen.
