The Susan B. Anthony likely has no real value past the $1.00 face value. Same for the Kennedy half if it is 1971 or newer. For the silver coins most coin stores are selling "Junk Silver" coins at about 18 time face value these days, so they will likely offer you about 10 or 12.

This means that for silver coins made in 1964 or before that are not particularly valuable as coins due to being common or in lesser conditions will net you about 10 or 12 dollars for a silver dollar and half that for half dollars if sold to a dealer. Half dollars made between 1965 and 1970 are 40% silver and will net a relatively lower silver value. You can ask more if they are in desirable dates or condition to make them attractive to collectors.

I will assume that the "Liberty Dollar" you have is actually what we calla Peace dollar, minted in the 1920's and 30's. Fairly common for many dates, they will likely get a small premium over "melt value". (Look on the back of the coin, does it say "Peace" on it?)

Dealers will always offer you less money than you can get from individuals of course, it is how they make their living. They have to pay rent on the store, salaries to employees and keep the lights on. They offer the convenience of being able to go in and sell for cash quickly.

I suggest you should visit a coin collector, may be among your relatives or friends, who can guide you accordingly seeing your coins. Also, do not visit a dealer as he is likely to misguide you.

now these I have lots of, they are all the same pretty much, this one is in the worst condition of all of them I think. I have 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967 none have a mint mark, then I have 1968 D and 1969 D. multiples of all of them.

Nice detailing on that Morgan dollar. I really only see bag marks, meaning it is at least in the ball park of uncirculated condition. Its a common date though, so probably worth around 30, + or - depending on who is buying.

The Peace (Liberty) dollar is a similar value, but a little less, for a few reasons. The main one being Morgan dollars sell better than Peace dollars.

The Kennedy half is worth around melt value in silver, $8-11 depending on buyer. Cash for gold will offer $4 or 5. Don't do that :(

Eisenhower dollars can sell on ebay for anywhere from $2-3 each. With only a few to sell, it may not be worth shipping, ebay, and paypal fees to sell. Outside of ebay I have not found enough of a market on them to say what they could be worth anywhere else.


Probably about $70 in coins I'd say, give or take. I have bought similar coins for under $50, not including the Eisenhower dollars.
I only ever get Eisenhower dollars like those from banks (for face value of course).

I hope this helps!

I am no expert but I have seen 1964 JFK halves going for between $9.50 to 11.00 just for good condition examples on ebay and Peace dollars that are in good condition for $21.00 to $ 25.00 each on ebay. Hope this help.

so ebay is pretty much my best option? ugh.... I don't really like ebay all the much lol. I have 20 of the 1964 half dollars, should I list them all together or each one on its own? if as a lot, what is a reasonable asking price?

With dealers offering melt silver coin at about 18x Face these days, you can try for about that as a reference and hope they go up. With $10 face, it would be about $180 that a dealer would get. Try starting about $150 for the lot and see if they get any traction.

Absent BU conditions it depends on luck as to whether buyers will bite, you might get lucky and have a couple bidders duel it out and drive the price up.

A decent dealer might offer about $75 to $100 for the group of 40% silver halves, Those "We Buy Gold" type joints about half that.

I got an offer for $75.00 for the 20-1964 Kennedy half dollars AND $18.00 FOR THE1886 MORGAN AND $15.00 FOR THE 1925 Peace dollar. that's about what I expected to see, not that that is what I want to get, but is that realistic of what I'm gonna get or should I wait for a better offer?

Thats way low. Melt value for those halves is more than double what they offered and no matter what kind of numismatic shape theyre in theyre at least worth melt. The melt for 20 of those right now is about 155. The Peace dollar offer wasnt even melt value either which would be about 16.60.

Bing or Google "online silver calculator coin" the first link that comes up for me allows entering value of coins by year series (Morgan/Peace) and includes the years they were made so it is very easy to use. It will give you the current total of the value of the silver based on the current melt value.

Someone is trying to rook you. Here are the melt values of the coins you listed from (124) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed .com...
1964 Kennedy: 7.72 EACH
1965-1970 Kennedy halves: 3.15 EACH These are only 40% silver compared to the 90% that is in the 1964. Hence the lower price.
Both the Morgan and Peace dollar are the same melt value: 16.52 EACH

So basically you were offered HALF the value on the Kennedy halves. And less than melt for the Peace and a little more than melt on the Morgan, but certainly less than what it is worth.

154.40 is the full melt value on the 1964s, so I would take no less than 120 for them. 25 or so would be fair for the Peace and about 30 for the Morgan. Fair for the other halves would be 2.80 a piece or so.

The silver values will change almost daily, so checking on (124) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed frequently will give you a good base to work with as far as melt values go. Just be sure you check if you think the coin is REALLY nice. That will add value.

I wouldnt worry about walking away from any of those offers. There is a value to the quick easy sale and the Peace dollar I might sit on a few days and see if I could beat it but I would walk away from the other offers without thinking twice about it.
