riffraff New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 02/17/2013 12:59 pm I am trying to help my mom sell some of her coins she has saved up over the years and ones from her father, The question its over 200 silver coins. Should they be broken up into dimes ,quarters, and half dollars. Any suggestions or advice. Thanks for any help or suggestions. Report this Post to the Staff

weerdsteev Pillar of the Community United States 1291 Posts	Posted 02/17/2013 1:27 pm If you're going to sell them in bulk lots without revealing the specific dates and mint marks, you'll probably only get melt value for them...and if that's all you get, there are easier and better ways of selling than ebay. Do you KNOW if there are any truly collectable (ie. valuable) coins in the bunch? Edited by weerdsteev 02/17/2013 1:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
riffraff New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 02/17/2013 1:37 pm I believe its mostly junk but I am not real big into collecting coins know a little bit on them. A 1964d dime looked like a weak strike.Well there is over 50 quarters from 1941 through 1964 majority of them are from 1964 and 2 standing liberteys I think that's what there called. Over 100 dimes ranging from 46 through 64. Half dollars over 30 2 franklins and rest from 64 through 70. Just trying to make it easy on her ( my mom ). I was going to show all coins and right dates down and mint marks. show the actual coins they are getting. Report this Post to the Staff
weerdsteev Pillar of the Community United States 1291 Posts	Posted 02/17/2013 1:48 pm Well, of course, only the 1964 and prior issues are 90% silver; 1965 through 1970 halves will be 40%. If all your 64s, regardless of denomination or mint, were pulled from circulation, melt is about all you can expect. If they're uncirculated, you might get a (very) little more. Photographing the coins older than 64 assures that any with collector value can be seen by your potential buyers and may move the bidding higher. If your mom was a "horder" rather than a collector, however, you might be spending more time photographing, uploading to ebay and shipping than what it's worth. Hopefully other members can jump in and tell you what you should look for within the years and denominations you mentioned.... Report this Post to the Staff
riffraff New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 02/17/2013 1:54 pm Thanks she is a hoarder of silver coins and old paper money. My guess is that the coins are worth the melt there are a few that are nice but they are circulated condition. Thanks for the input.. Report this Post to the Staff
Bassmaster Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 02/17/2013 2:16 pm If you are wanting to sell expensive auctions ($100+), you can sell in lots without revealing the mint marks. However, I think you would want to break them up into smaller $10 and $20 lots. For example, put the two standing liberty's together. If you get impatient trying to sell them, you can always put them at melt value. Report this Post to the Staff
