I think you are pretty much looking at those being worth their silver value.

yea, looking at 13.3x face value as maximum. I see not extra special valuable coins, would be something a silver stacker would jump at. $80 plus shipping is what I would pay. If it's inherited, no sentimental values? |

Thanks! That's what I thought. There's no sentimental value, I'm just looking to pass them on. Thanks for the 13.3x max. I'm guessing that estimation is tied to the price of sliver? I also have: 3-JFK Halfs 21-Franklin Halfs 70-Washington Quarters 75-Roosevelt Dimes They're all Silver, but not as old as the coins above, so I don't know if it's worth posting them here for evaluation. All of the coin were just pulled from circulation as found and the condition is generally better as the dates approach 1964. I'm guessing that that is when the saving began.   |

You could break the coins into 3 or 4 lots and sell on ebay. Spread the duplicate dates into different lots. You could do a fixed price at melt and the coins will sell. You will pay about 15% for selling fees and shipping cost. You could take them to a coin dealer if the dealer will give you 15% under melt, then you will get the same money. If you do the ebay, make sure you pack well as the weight of silver will bust open a lot of packages. |

These were also in the collection. Any potential value here? Thanks!   |

You might get a little more for some of the more collectible ones, like the Walking Liberty halves. Using the pics you took of those 9 halves, you should be able to sell them for $100, either on ebay or Craigslist. I've seen a lot worse. Yours are VF and uncleaned. List them by date and mintmark which is on the reverse at 8 o'clock. On the last batch, the 5 Kennedys are 40% silver, worth $2.56 in bullion today. The rest are face value, from what I see. Forgot the Buffalo nickels- about a buck or two ea, if you can read the dates. Edited by ron6788

Thanks ron6788! I'll try the Walking Liberty halves on their own. If they don't sell I can always bundle later. |

I had a dealer tell me years ago that most of what came in his door was accumulations, not collections.
My dad's accumulation of modern proofs brought some premium over melt, but not nearly what he had paid for it. He eventually gave up on his stamps and used them on letters.
I don't know what my accumulation will bring some lucky heir. That's their problem. My dad's proofs didn't interest me in the slightest, and I suspect that my 1858-S quarters will be the same.
The thrill is in the hunt more than in the having....but I like having them around too....
