I have "collected" coins since I was a kid in Boy Scouts. In the 1960s I bought a bag of mixed uncirculated Lincoln cents. I have 50 each of 1960-D and 1960 Philly mint. At 75 my eyes arent good enough to say "large date" vs "small date". Should I send some of each for grading or are they worth the expense? What would be the most economical way to submit them? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Philadelphia mint 1960 "small date" cents are worth $5 to $15 in most uncirculated grades. Only superb gems (MS 67 RD or higher) are worth much more. It is unlikely that you have any, and you wouldn't be able to recognize them. The 1960-D small dates and the large dates from both mints are generally worth no more than $5 in most uncirculated grades. It would cost $23 per coin to submit them to NGC, plus processing fees and shipping costs. Therefore, it wouldn't be worthwhile to submit them for grading. A dealer might be willing to give you a few dollars for any Philadelphia small dates you might have.
I'm not sure on which forum you intended to post this. It appears that the chat board isn't working properly tonight. I hope this reaches you. If you are a first-time poster, welcome to the NGC chat board.
