Hi! Last year I joined the website and ask for help in deciding if any of the coins my father-in-law left me were worth keeping or if I should cash them in for their silver value. Someone suggested I post a list of the coins and I did. I did not have many of them logged at that time (it's taken me quite a long time to got through them) so I am going to list them again and would appreciate any help you can give me. I cannot figure out how to download the list so I am copying it here. I hope this is not too confusing and I welcome any suggestion because I am very new to this and need HELP!

It depends greatly on their condition, I'd say. They aren't any great rarities, so the condition is crucial in this situation. However, if it's the 1942/41 dime..  |

It is very hard to determine value without knowing the grade (condition) of the coins. Do you have or are you able to take photos?

Yes, the 1941/1942 is one of my favorites.
No, I do not have any photos but yes I can take some. Any suggestion of which ones to take? I have over 200 dimes and 130 quarters but that does not include any of the coins from the 50's or 60's because I assume they are only worth silver value.

Maybe a good idea is to start from those that are in the best condition. They are the ones which have the greatest chance of being worth to keep. Also, please show us the Standing Liberty quarters. Edit. By saying 1942/41 I mean the.. ugh what's it called.. overdate? Basically, if you can see a "1" under the 1942, then you're lucky ^^ Edited by DL20K

I agree, the best condition ones first and then go on from there.
I'd recommend photographing all of them and maybe load them by decade and we can try to give the most accurate grades a few photos at a time? might take a while to get that many pics but could be worth it in the end.

It's 330 coins. Assuming that we'll have 2 coins in one photo = 165 photos. It would result in a massive grading task I wouldn't recommend photographing more at once, as then one or more will surely get blurry and thus, impossible to grade. I sometimes fail to take a good photo of 2 coins at once  Edited by DL20K

As I said this is new to me so I am not sure if I need to take photos of both sides or just the date side.
Thank you everyone for the responses.
Oh, Now I get the over date. Dah, thought it was my pasting ability.

It is advisable to take photos of both sides in order to get a more accurate grade Edited by DL20K

goldie, If the 1925D Mercury happens to be in excellent shape, you have a keeper. There are numerous sites on the net for grading examples if you don't have the reference books handy. Pictures would be great and the people here are certainly advanced in the field. nlp

where are you going to cash them in for their silver value? I would guess those some of standing libs would be worth more than silver content if you can read the date. How much above silver value? Maybe not to much, but sill a small premium. A coin shop isn't going to give you much over 8-10 x face for the junk silver if you are lucky, and the silver value is closer to 13x.

Don't forget about the 1945-S micro S 10c variety.
