    Got these a little while ago but don't know a huge amount about numismatics. I was thinking of selling them and was tossing up whether or not to get them graded. I was thinking they were at least AU possible mint. Any opinions or advice much appreciated!

    Thanks for that..... Probably not really worth getting graded I suppose.
    Think I might see what I can get for them on here.

    might get $10 for the 1960 as it looks gem... these are all common in high grade.. never seen them actualise at book prices.

    Worth grading.. you mean by me? or pro grading with slab> lol no

    Very true. Although I have seen some coins for very decent prices in the earlier/scarce dates. Things like "the finest or second finest known example" with coins that have exceptional provenance.
