Hi everyone. I recently inherited half of my great grandma's coin collection. I'm keeping quite a bit of it, the silver ones and also ones just for sentimental reasons. I am wondering on others if I should just take them to the bank to trade in or try to sell them. If I took them to a dealer I know I probably wouldn't get more than face anyway.

I've googled most of these but have gotten conflicting answers, ranging in face value to a couple dollars a piece. So any help would be appreciated.

most are in F in XF conditon.

I have some misc late 60's early 70's nickels

For dimes I have 1966-69 with no mint mark, 70-73D and a 72no mint.

Quarters- I have quite a few in the 1966-69 range, then the 1976 drummer boys d and for rolls of State Quarters I have wy, mi, me, id, or, wi, nd, wv, nd, tx and wv all wit the d mint mark. I also have a few partial rolls or home rolled ones for a few other states

Also I have a few hundred in 1971 and later 50 cent pieces and 1979 SBA dollars.

So are there any hidden gems in here or should they all go to the bank? Thanks again for the help :-)

modern coins are valuable in high uncirculated grades. They are typically not valued over face value in circulated conditions. This is primarily due to the fact that they are readily available in change. There's always a chance any of these coins could have a rare or collectible error or variety. Based on the monumental long odds and the fact that it would take a specialist of each series to identify these coins- I'd say that there's not much use looking. My advice is to determine what it is you want to keep and why and stick to that plan. The members here will be happy to help you understand what it is that you have if you make a specific list.

Agreed. In circulated condition, they all will be worth about face.

You can check the WI quarters for the extra leaf variety, however.

Good luck!

Thanks for the replies and the info.

cc99999- I like your advice about decided what to keep and then stick with the plan. It makes it easier when you have a clear dividing line and you won't have any regrets that way :-)

Except for the rolled quarters everything is in circulated condition so I probably won't hold on to a lot of the newer stuff.

The BU rolls are worth above face and you can try and sell them, if you don't want to hang onto them. Numismatic News allows you a free ad each month, if you have a subscription with them. Or you can look into ebay to sell the lot of BU rolls.

You can see if you have any high grade coins for 1982 and 1983. Since no mint sets were made those years and most people didn't save many BU examples, so AU ones might be worth saving. I don't know if any one would pay above face for an AU coin for those 2 years though.

I'd also save any uncirculated coins from 2005-2010.
