I inherited Some Canadian silver Dollars Years 1939 1952 1954-55 1958-59 and 1962-65. Are these sellable or should I let them go for bullion. I also have some specimen proof Silver dollars from the 80's same question. I'm not interested in them and wish to let them go. Most are in very good shape.

It depends how much your time is worth. You can get a premium for 1939 to 1958 if you put them on ebay. Same is likely true for the mint product. But unless very high grades the premium in total might be maybe $50.

There is a 1955 variety that is worth a lot (arnprior)/ {Of course condition is very important}
you can look up here coinsandcanada.com. If you click on the year in question there will be a "hot" button "quality and wear" where you can see pictures of the various grades

For the circulation ones it very much depends on the grade and somewhat on the variety. See https://coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php for more info on which ones are worth looking at more closely. For the Specimen ones from the 80s there isn't much of a premium over bullion for them as there were so many produced.

I had a similar situation ten years ago. I did not technically inherit the silver dollars but my dad gave me 12 different "common" silver dollars, some mint some not. He was getting on in years and these were duplicates. He did not have a complete set himself, his main love was 50 cent pieces.

At that point I only collected smaller denomination Canadian coins. The only silver dollar I owned was a 1967. After looking at them for a few months, I decided to try to collect all years 1935-1967. Using mainly ebay I built up my collection over a couple of years, finally completing my collection by purchasing a 1948 at a coin show.

My dad has since passed on, but my silver dollar collection is now my pride and joy and I think of my dad every time I look at those coins. Well, I am rambling on and not really answering your question. I could have sold those coins at the time for melt value but I am glad that I kept them.

Nice, I love your story.

Now if you finish the years collection, try to have the varieties design. Good Luck.
