Ok I'd like some help to work out what to send to see if it's even worth grading so I'm not wasting money or peoples time only to be told they wouldn't grade or only get low grade and I'll just start with a couple as I have a few that I'm thinking about and because I'm useless at pic's (will try and get better one's in the sun sorry) I have also put up some scan so any help would be most appreciated thank you :thank_you:
So it goes pic then scan :hi:

The cost of grading is worth more than the value of any of those coins in my opinion.

Thanks dcoin, I didn't think the penny would be but seen this and thought the double bar might be worth a stab in the dark :winkextra:

Your 50c would grade MS63/64 though, just my opinion.

That's all I'm after, thanks dcoin, appreciate it mate because I don't want to waste money sending or their time looking at coins that aren't worth it..this is one thing that really sucks living in the bush :(

that '79 is a fine coin AJ - looks from the scans to be from a mint set

the '55 is very nice but I am very fussy and wouldn't send that coin as it appears to have early stage verdigris on the obverse
but I see heaps of pcgs coins with spots that I wouldn't even consider sending and as well they get good prices if the grade and scarcity of grade is right

Thanks RG, but couldn't imagine you being fussy mate, gee you talk to me :winkextra: and the 79 I found in the pond a couple of years ago so thought I'd put it away because it does look really nice in hand :) I have a couple of slabs now and a couple of them have verdigris so sometimes I wonder about PCGS and if it's really worth it :(
