    If you want to grade them yourself, get a copy of the Red Book of US Coins from your local bookstore. They tell how to grade all US coins, and it gives a general idea of their value.

    If you want a TPG (Third Party Grader) to grade them for you....... most people consider PCGS as the #1 grading service, but you have to purchase a 1 year membership. The price and other info can be found through links on their homepage. ANACS is considered in the top 3 TPG'ers. They don't have a yearly membership. Google them and you'll get all the details.

    Good luck! Let us know what happens.
    My humble '63 mint registry set, not much, but it's mine!
  • They are nice to own, but probably not worth the grading fees. Just keep 'em as is.
