No, IMHO, simply because of the cost per each grading. It adds to your initial cost per coin and if you don't get the highest grade it becomes a burden that has to be made up. In a silver buying frenzy which I expect the coin will be one ounce of silver whether graded or not to the majority of the buying public. Also, I have heard from several people that the affiliates that do the actual grading give their own coins a better break on grading standards than ones submitted from 3rd parties. That's only rumor and I can't substantiate it. Personally, I wouldn't send them in for grading.
