Is it worth it to send my coin to get graded?

Commemorative Coins 1 Comment »

I have one of the Abraham Lincoln Commemorative Proof Silver Dollars and 2009 District of Columbia & U.S. Territories Quarters Silver Proof Set. Should I have it graded by a coin grading service. If so how much would it cost and who should I have it graded by. I was thinking ANACS.

Anyone think that some of the commemoration dates on US commemorative coins are ridiculous?

Commemorative Coins 1 Comment »

I can understand a commemorative coin that celebrates the 100th anniversary of an event, but why do we need coins for the 150th, 175th, and 200th anniversaries? Have they run out of ideas and just decided to start repeating coins every 25 years? And how many commemoratives are out there now for Lincoln, and the Lewis and Clark Expedition?! Out of all the events that have happened in this country’s rich history, why do they keep commemorating the same things over and over? I understand the US mint is a business and is trying to make profit, but does this seem a little ridiculous to any other collectors or is it just me?
Sorry I need to clarify: By the Lincoln and Lewis and Clark commemoratives, I was also including the regular coinage that get’s "commemorated" like the Westward Journey series of Jefferson nickels a few years back, in addition to the US Commemorative Coin program coins. The Sacajawea dollar (Sacajawea was part of the Lewis and Clark Expedition), and the Lincoln cent which in itself in 1909 was a 100th anniversary commemorative. And they are now releasing 4 more "commemorative" versions of the cent for his bicentennial.

What would the value be for a Lincoln 1909 commemorative coin made by Victor D. Brenner?

I have found a medal in an old box in my basement. I did some research on it and found out it is a Lincoln 1909 commemorative coin made by Victor D. Brenner. I also found that about only 120 were made making it pretty rare. I was wondering if you could give me a value for it.
It is not a coin, but actualy a medal. It is supposed to be part of a pen holder, but due to the fact no one bought them because of the high price they were never finished. A coin store offerd me ,000 for it and I wondered if it was a good price.
