These could probably get a little over melt.

As mentioned on previous posts your coins are of a collectible grade AU to MS in what we can see. The 1941 s is easily worth twice melt value (in my opinion) and you should be able to sell for a much better price than melt for these popular coins.

10 percent over melt is reasonable.
To get this, you might trade for the commemorative that you want.
Just what commemorative do you have in mind?

I agree with the others that these are worth more than melt based on their appearance.
Do another 70 posts on here and you could list them here and get more than melt.

Yeah, what Commemorative are you interested in? You might be able to do a trade.

I am looking at getting the 1936 gettysburg commemorative. I know price wise it is worth way more then the half dollars. Just trying to add some funds to what I already have. May try listing on craiglist. Have had some success selling some other coins that way. I do appreciate the opinions.

I find Walkers of those dates/mints in comparable condition in bulk silver tubs down this way aaaalllll the time. This is not to say that you could not obtain a premium over spot price by careful and creative marketing.

No need for careful and creative marketing. If they are only worth melt value then that is what they are worth. Just wanted some opinions on them.

I would sure get at least 30% over melt.
Rest in Peace

They're worth what someone is willing to pay. I sold a partial set of three weights in abused condition for $51. A new set of seven sells for around $10.

In my area you can buy all the common date silver you want in G-EF at melt or slightly over, AU-BU common dates will sell for 10-20% over melt but it takes a while.

$18 to $25 a piece all day and all night on the bay. Much better than melt.

At coin shows those would all be in the $18 to $25 range. At a coin store much more. Even for you to sell them to a dealer at a coin show, you'ld get a lot more than what you've been offered. Of course you have someone that wants to buy them. And if for those prices he is offering, why not. Obviously not a freind.

Thanks for the opinions. I decided I will just hang onto them for now. I know they are common coins but I have had them for 15yrs kinda have mixed feelings about selling them.

Good for you. They will always be worth melt and more. Walking Liberty halves are beautiful coins and it's good to have a few nice examples in your collection. Good luck in finding your Gettysburg commemorative half, it to is a fantastic design.
