Thank you all for your opinions. I have not actually bought any of the coins I have. Either they have been gifted to me or I aquired them from a store. I am always interested in learning new things regarding coins..or anything else. 😊

In my case, it's not necessarily about the money. It's more about having something of quality. However, the value is a plus if an emergency situation were to arise and I needed to sell.

I have been a coin collector for many years. I'm just a basic collector though. I don't know a whole lot about coins. As I get older, I am trying to learn more. Since I am not an expert, I came here. I have 3 coins I feel are in good enough condition to send off for grading, but would like others opinions. I personally don't see a reason to spend the money on a coin that will get a low grade. In general, what are your opinions on what condition is good enough for grading? I attached pictures of the 3 coins I am considering. Any basic info, opinions, etc is welcome about any or all. 1. 1988 Silver Eagle 2. 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar 3. 1962 Franklin Half Dollar (I am not real sure on the difference between the Full Bell Line and "normal". Hard to see from the pics online.)

Thank you for the info. I know they are not worth a ton. I wasn't sure about the cost of grading. I do have a couple of half dollars and dollar coins I have considered grading so this helps decide about them.

I hope you sung the title to this post like the 12 days of Christmas. Backstory: I clean houses for work. I have been in majority of my client's houses for around 6 years and have become very close with some of them. I have a client in her 90's that isn't in good health. I have been helping her go through some of her things over the last couple of months. She has an old box full of old coins from the US and other countries. She gave me an old medicine bottle full of coins without even looking to see what they were. When I got home, I opened the bottle to find 33 Barber Dimes and a Mercury Dime. After several hours with a loupe and magnifying glass, I have gotten year and mint for all. I am only questionable about one. Years range 1892-1916 and the Mercury is 1941 P. This post is about the Barbers. The Mercury was just an added bonus. I know condition is everything when it comes to coins. All of them are in circulated condition. However, there are a few that I consider to be in good condition for the age. Most coins I have seen that age are extremely worn. Some of these are very worn and were hard to determine year. I have attached pictures of both sides of the dimes. Also, a picture with the year and mint for each one labeled. I will be happy to get individual, up-close pictures, if needed. I can add them to a comment. I did include picture of the Mercury since I mentioned it in the post. Now to my questions... 1. Do you think there are any in good enough condition to have graded? I have never had anything graded so advice is appreciated on the process. 2. What would value of the whole lot of 33 be if I were selling to an individual? Dealer? I don't plan to sell them, but it is always good to know value in case of an emergency. 3. Any information that you would like to share about Barber dimes is also welcomed. I am always interested in learning something new. I only know basics about the dimes. Thank you for taking the time to help people like me.
