    What in the world are we supposed to be looking at?? What makes them supposedly "worth something"? What do you think you see?? :/

    forty cents for the lot of 4.

    If it is five dimes, then it is worth face value, $0.50 total or $0.10 each.

    Why do you think they are "worth something"? I see a bunch of very ordinary dimes.

    All glory is fleeting.

    car accidents suck. Truck accidents when driving a car, those are worse.

    Your coins are not high grade enough to be worth a premium. All of them appear to be circulated based on your photos. Your coins would have to be MS68's or Full Bands in order for it to be worth the time and money to be sent in for certification and grading. A great resource for someone just starting out is PCGS PhotoGrade. Here you can see every example of a U.S. Coin, and see the different grades. Study each coin, and understand the differences between each coin.

    Welcome to the website and welcome to the hobby! :)

    The process of getting coins graded can be very expensive when all the basic fees and shipping are added to the actual grading fee for each coin.
    Shipping and handling fees start around $30
    plus each Coins grading fee. ($17, $22, or more each)
    The average coin dated earlier than 1964 will cost around a minimum fee of $22 each.
    Coins dated 1965 and later can start at a cost of $16 each.

    You would want to have a coin worth at least $50-$60 to make grading worthwhile to most people if your intention is to sell a graded coin for profit.
    If you have a coin that is particularly special or sentimental to you, it might be worth it to you to have graded no matter what it is worth, if you have the money to spend.

    Most coins you will find in change or circulation are not worth having graded. Usually even brand new perfect looking coins are not worth the time and money to have graded.

    The coins many send in for grading are carefully chosen, well preserved examples or they coins are very rare, valuable, or scarce.

    If you look through eBay for most modern coins, you can find hundreds of coins being sold for less than it costs to have it graded most of the time.

    If you have a coin that you believe is special, try to find a graded example of the same coin on eBay and see how much it costs there.
    This is often how I decide whether or not to send coins in for grading.

    I hope you enjoy this website and the coin hobby.
    Best wishes
    Rocco
