chasenyc New Member United States 0 Posts	Posted 09/10/2021 11:33 am Hello everyone, I was given these coins by a family member years ago and its time to find out if any of them are worth anything and then sell them, hopefully all to one person. I am under no illusion that these coins are worth anything. I'm sure most are worth face value, but there seem to be a few more rare ones and maybe there are some in the bunch that are worth something. I didn't waste time taking any great photos or turning them on the back side as I'm not sure if it is worth my time. I'd appreciate if anyone here might take a look and let me know what I have, if anything and what I should do as far as selling. I am thankful in advance for anyone's feedback. I will add a link to the photos. Report this Post to the Staff

BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 09/10/2021 11:42 am There are a handful of silver coins. Otherwise, almost everything seems to be face value. The silver coins are any half/dime/quarter 1964 or prior. Nickels 1942-1945 (as the ones in the War Nickel holder) The proof dollar in the Statue of liberty set. Also, any halves 1965-1970 are 40% silver Lastly, its possibly that some of the bicentennial (the ones dated 1776-1976) coins are 40% silver. You have to check the edges.

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7273 Posts	Posted 09/10/2021 12:25 pm I agree with all the above. The coins and currency that are face value you should just spend. Dimes, Quarters, Half Dollars older than 1964 are silver so you can sell them to a coin shop or package them as one item and sell them on ebay. The Liberty (1905) and the Bison/Indian nickels are worth maybe 75 cents. The proof sets sadly aren't worth much over face, but you can try selling those also. If you want to do everything no one will give you much more than face for everything. Like I said said the silver as 1 group and the proof sets as another.

Collects82 Pillar of the Community United States 1316 Posts	Posted 09/10/2021 12:30 pm I submit that there is greater sentimental value than anything here, but thats not nothing. Since the cash value here isn't much, you probably aren't loosing much by holding them either. Even if you don't care for them, maybe another relative would appreciate the collection and that connection to your family member. Report this Post to the Staff
