My Mom's Collection So Far

you are on the right track, keep with it. Even clear cell phone pictures (make sure you have plenty of light on the coin) help.

like others said, just the peace of mind that you researched them first, is worth the effort.

I am not sure what all your numbers mean, but if I was looking at the the group of coins you listed I would check out your 1964 proof sets for accented hair on the Kennedy half dollar.




Does this mean you have a 106 1964 proof sets?

As for the rest of the list, it does look like your coins would sell for their silver value.

Most dealers will buy and sell your silver based on dollar amount (face value) of silver coin.
For example
$10.00 of silver Roosevelt dimes
$40.00 of silver quarters
$50.00 of silver half dollars

$100.00 total face value.
I feel right now most good dealers would give you around $19.00 for every dollar.

Or for every $100.00 face = $1900.00

For the silver dollars (1878 - 1935), if common date/mint mark you might get around $21.00 each. for circulated coins.

The American Silver Eagles you should get right around the current price of silver. If silver is at $30.00 per oz. then you should get $30.00 each.

If I was selling I would try to sell in smaller lots. under $5,000.00. Smaller amounts can help in shipping and with your bank maybe wanting to file paper work when you move more than $10.000.00.

Once I knew the amount of silver coins I wanted to sell, I would call any local buyers and ask what they would pay for silver. How many times face. Then check with some of the large bullion dealers and see what they would pay.
I deal with a good one in Pensacola FL and one in Lake Charles LA.

I feel it is easier to sell off the common coins first.
Common coins like 90% and 40% silver coins, wheat cents and Buffalo nickels.

Then take your time selling the better coins.

The only annoying/stupid question is the one you DON'T ask
Ask away, Thats why we are here
