Are only mint state coins worth grading? Or do coins become worth grading once they reach a certain set value?
Unlike many of you, I'm barely launched on this journey. I've been trying to learn as much as I could over the last year but there's one question I've been running into increasingly often. When is a coin worth grading? Obviously the modern coins are only really worth grading if a high MS grade can be obtained but what about older coins? Do they necessarily have to be MS and worth hundreds or thousands of dollars to be worth grading or can lesser coins be worth getting slabbed and graded. I'm 20, almost 21. I don't really get to spend $100+ to buy a single coin very often so most of the older coins I have aren't exactly mint state, but some of them are still pretty darn nice if you ask me (maybe my standards are too low?). For now my small but growing Silver American Eagle collection remains my only group of graded coins. I'm reluctant to even consider submitting coins for grading unless I'm reasonably sure it'd be worth the money and effort.
