Welcome to CCF.. The biggest plus for me is when both sides of each coin are showing.. . Nothing more frustrating for me than seeing these blue binders come up ..and always only one side showing for each and every coin...  Always show big,.. clear and sharp pics of each coin... . Edited by DEVLEC

Hi everyone, thank you for the responses :)
Yeah those were just rough out photos. I have taken better photos today, although I haven't had a chance to upload them yet. First the power was out and now Photobucket is down for maintenance. I took closer photos with my dslr of both sides. Lol, I know the feeling about bad photos. It's like looking at a car with Instagram filters.
How would one split them up? Same years, origin, sets of about 5? I would assume the book must not be worth very much then? Also as a value of silver, what would these weigh roughly? Not sure what the current value of silver is, so I'd have to find that out locally.
EDIT: Just found the weights on the Canadian coin pricing site.

Went through the price chart based on condition. How does this look? Also I noticed a couple coins are kind of off center, so the dot boarder exists but the solid line before the edge disappears on one side and is thicker on the other side. Not sure if that has any significance or not.

The melt value on the Newfoundland ones are about $8.10 right now so I wouldn't look at the book values for those. The 1932 is definitely the most valuable and you are probably better off selling that one on its own. The 1934 is worth more than melt, not sure if I would sell that individually or put it in a small lot and see if you can the price driven up because of it. As far as I can see the rest don't carry much of a premium over melt and selling in smaller lots is probably you're best option.

Nice silver 50 cent pieces you have there! I have a few 50 cent pieces, but they are all the nickel variety and the 2002 commemorative.

Aside from the aforementioned 1932 and 1934 , all you have is a pedestrian Lot of Junk silver halves. Absolutely nothing special in the rest of them.

 Nice 50 cent collection! As the others suggested above, I would also recommend breaking up the set for sale because you will definitely get a better return. However it will be more work for you. If you don't have the time or want to sell as a complete set then the other option is to use a minimum / reserve price for your ebay auction. |

When you sell them note that the newfoundland ones are sterling silver 92.5% and the pre 1920 Canadian ones are as well.

Thank you everyone, I really appreciate the honesty and input.
I'll have to get some separate coin cases, any recommendations on where to buy them? As for breaking them up, would it be appropriate to bunch them in the same years or decades? Or not to bunch the same years together? I have time and patience so it's not a big deal.

The prices you have listed are very very optimistic.
Circulated 50cents from the '60s are bullion value items.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Excellent, although the melt part is kind of heart breaking considering some are over 100 years old :( I'll probably try to keep the lots at minimum $50 values just because it's kind of a pain to drive back and forth for shipping everything, maybe even a little higher. So I guess that would be roughly 5 coins in each lot, not including the 1932 and 34. Thank you again for the help everyone :)

Have you taken them to your LCS? By the time you pay shipping and paypal and what have you, you might be better off just selling the '32 and 34 on ebay and negotiating for melt from a LCS. Or hang on to the junk and wait for BV to improve. |
