Good morning,
I was fortune enough to walk into a store that I go to just about everyday and I was to get quarters. He showed my a stack of half dollars since he knew I liked to look through his coins every once in a while and asked me if I wanted them instead. I could immediately tell they were older than what I use to have. I of course said yes so here is what I got:

2 - 1954 Franklin half dollars - some wear but still prominent features

1 - 1956 -Franklin Half dollars - good shape

4 - 1964 - Kennedy half dollar - great shape except it looks like a few rust spots

1 - 1968 - Kennedy half dollar - it looks like it has a few rust spots

I'm in need of quick cash so I would like to know from my friends out there who have helped me alot, should I sell on ebay or go to dealer in Houston and sell for metal....?


Quick is the key word here. Any advice is appreaciated!

If you really need cash, I would just go to a dealer that pays the most, none of those dates are worth more than spot. ebay will maybe make a little more, but I don't think it's worth the time for a few extra bucks with the fees and shipping. Also, with ebay, there is a chance you wont even get what a dealer pays..
Rest in Peace

Also, Your funds may be held until the buyer leaves you feedback if you are a new seller to ebay.

When I go into a dealer am I then selling them at the current silver price? This may seem silly to some but I've never done this before?

Thank you very much, as usual the insight is extremely helpful!

I doubt it, I have never gotten the spot price before, usually its a less than that. It all depends on what the dealer pays for the current spot price, usually around 80%.
