Very nice images. Looks like one coin has a hit at the tip of the nose.
Since it’s just bullion, the technical grade isn’t as important as having it slabbed for authentication purposes. It will help you move it easier if it’s in a slab.
I belIeve there are more than enough buyers, who don’t need authentication for such items. And it’s unlikely that the postage and grading fees would be recaptured when the coins are sold.

I would not pay have to those graded.
A Dansco full of those would be pretty cool, dontcha think?
I would probably get them slabbed, but since they're just bullion it would be because they look nice in holders and they'll be easy to sell come time to do so.

They look great in holders. No grade, just certified.
Review sold prices and see if it helps you decide.
Not sure I would pay for grading, if I needed it in a slab I would have bought a graded one.

If a piece is particularly special to me I like to get it encapsulated just to preserve it regardless of the value.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
This. I love PCGS but in this case it's just not cost effective.

They are just bullion and will likely be bought as such by future buyers. Don't waste money on slabbing such items unless the slab brings a premium sufficient to justify the cost.
That's up to you.
I do not slab mine....just keep them with the original box and certificate....Those are really nice...Thanks for the really great pictures Kathy....Cheers, RickO
Ebay sales for those dates is around $1700- $1800, graded and ungraded.
Are they worth grading? Depends on how much you paid for them and what you want for them.
jmo
Cost should have no bearing on whether they merit grading. Other than wanting them encapsulated for the sake of appearance and/or preservation, the other consideration would be the cost to do so, compared to the potential difference in value and ease of selling.

You're correct.
I should have said no to having them graded because that was the question...
Good luck on your business quest Kathy.
