LDTcoin New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 03/09/2025 6:26 pm Hello - I am new to all of this and not interested in being a collector, but have inherited a box of coins that my mother and grandmother saved. I don't want to dishonor them by not doing the right thing with them and accidentally melting them down for silver content. Would love some help - all the coins except maybe 1 or 2 have been circulated and are ungraded. I am in the process of compiling a list. here are the two 1928 Peace dollars... All help appreciated.

You have a small premium as it's a 1928, but it's readily available. My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Bedrock of the Community United States 13378 Posts	Posted 03/10/2025 11:54 am to the CCF If these were Philadelphia mint 1928 coins they would be worth a premium. However they were minted in San Francisco so essentially are worth a slight premium over silver melt value. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Too many hobbies .... too much work .... not enough time. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10842 Posts	Posted 03/10/2025 5:31 pm U.S. Silver dollars that are melted are usually heavily damaged coins that have been holed or have major problems. The coins you pictured are definitely not candidates for melting. Their value exceeds their melt value by a significant margin. Whatever you do do not attempt to clean, polish or shine those coins in any way. I estimate the retail value on the two pieces he posted at $30 each. Good luck with the collection and welcome to CCF. We'd be happy to try to answer any further questions you may have. ANA #R3154474 Edited by BH1964 03/10/2025 5:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
