robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 06/17/2012 7:56 pm also depends on the dates of the Kennedy half dollars. '64 are 90% silver while '65-'70 are only 40% silver. Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 06/17/2012 8:00 pm The pictures are not clear and not close enough to tell exactly what's there. Also, they give no dates. the top left coin looks like either a Trade dollar or from the UK. Top, third from left also looks like from UK. Some of the coloring of the Kennedy halfs would leave me to think they are not all 90% silver, a couple look clad. And as mentioned above, the nickels are not silver. Given my guesses on some of the coins and their contents, I would guess about $260 in silver content. But that's only a guess. Edited by Fuzzy317 06/17/2012 8:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36744 Posts	Posted 06/17/2012 8:07 pm Looks like some of the Kennedy halves are clad. Not sure why the nickels are in there other than to make it look like you are getting more bang for your buck. I would look at them in hand before making an offer. And do it in a public place like a mall or bank lobby. Figure 90% silver (pre-1964) in the 19x-20x face range. Morgan and Peace dollars in the $25-26 range. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36744 Posts	Posted 06/17/2012 8:10 pm One of the coins is a Mexican Peso dated between 1958-64, .100 fine silver. It is not 90%. Can't tell what the large coin on the left is but does not look U.S. From what I can see, there isn't $300 worth there. Report this Post to the Staff
