    Are they proofs? Pictures are a little small to see much detail.
    What grading service are you going to submit them to?

    Let me add my welcome.baseball is quite right the coins in the pics aren't worth slabbing.The general thinking is unless a coins value exceeds $50 to $100,it isn't worth it.

    Stacey,

    Welcome to the board.

    I suggest that you pick up a book or two on coin grading. Photograde is a good one, there are also others out there. Amazon.com is a good source for coin books.

    Also, pick up a copy of the Redbook. The redbook is a good guide for prices.

    I have a used 2001 Redbook I can send you. Email me if your interested.
