Hi All ~
I certainly appreciate all of the input. It made one realize that the Coin World is not one dimensional, as I am sure most believe. While it is disheartening to find that you do not have what you thought you had, that's okay, the education made it worth it. At the end of the day, I suspect I have a pretty large pile of melt. Before I do that, there was a suggestion that I sort by date and mint and post a list. I may have to go back and check the earlier years for quarters to see if there were mint marks that I failed to note.

So here goes...

HALVES:
1917 2

where is the mint mark on the 1917S half? obverse (heads) or reverse (tails)? any nickels dated 1942-1945 or 1950D?

Can you post a pics of the halves from 1939 and before? a group pic should be fine; pick out a dozen or so of the nicest coins so we can estimate the grade. same for the early quarters and dimes would really be big help in getting an idea of the grade

The 1917S half is reverse and to be honest it is real worn.

the 1942P nickel is a War Nickel. 35% silver; worth a buck or two in normal circulated condition.

If you decide to sell for melt let me know before you sell them. Maybe we could work out a trade on some of the silver halves. You have a few years/mint marks that I need for my Walking Liberty and Franklin sets.

For the halves dated before 1930, I think you should be able to get a few extra bucks as long as they aren't problem coins, if they grade VF or better.

I am under the impression that for the remaining dates listed, unless it is an exceptional MS coin, you aren't going to get any premium for it.

Your pre-34 Halves (assuming they are G+) along with the 48, 49-S, 53, 56 and 58 dated ones are likely worth a little more than the rest of them.

Out of curiosity, are all of your pre-59 Quarters Phillys? If so, the only ones really worth holding onto are the 1902, 1925 through 1930, 1932, and 1938 dated coins.

The Pre-34 Dimes along with the War Nickel and the Buffalo also are worth keeping.

I just called the local coin store today and they were only paying 12x face and approx $15 for common,non cull morgans and peace. Seems low to me.

Look, I can tell you this: for the amount of work you will have to go through to get those few extra $$ for the better dates (based on the list you have given), if you found someone who is willing to give you 14x face right now, you will do well to simply sell it all for that price. It is a really good price at the moment.

..Unless you have the option to hold it long-term; silver made a long-term bottom in January, and should now be on it's way up for the next couple of years. That's a promise.

From the subsequent information you have provided it seems that the 14x offer you received seems to be fairly decent for quick cash. Unfortunately the coin shops in my area pay considerably lower than that.

You might be able to get a bit more if you sold them yourself on ebay but that would take a lot of effort.

For bulk junk silver I put them in rolls and list on ebay with starting bid around or slightly back of melt. I show a photo of the coins displayed in a bourse tray so buyers can get ideas as to what obv and rev look like.
