I recently dove into my old box of silver coins that I set aside a while ago when I first started collecting. I had almost forgotten about it! I took stock of everything I have and I was wondering if someone could let me know if I have anything in particular that is worth continued investing in. Thanks in advance! 1x 1894 V nickel1x 1908 V nickel1x 1909 V nickel1x 1923 Buffalo nickel1x 1924 Peace dollar1x 1937-d Buffalo nickel1x 1940-s nickel 1x 1942 Mercury dime1x 1944-s quarter 1x 1944 quarter 1x 1946-s booker t com. half dollar 1x 1946 quarter 1x 1953 quarter 1x 1958-d dime 1x 1962-d dime 1x 1962-d quarter 1x 1963-d dime 1x 1964 dime 1x 1964 quarter 1x 1967 Kennedy half dollar2x 1971 Ike dollar2x 1974 Ike dollar1x 1976-d bicentennial half dollar 8x 1976-d bicentennial quarter 4x 1976 bicentennial quarter 1x 1972-d half dollar 1x 1973 half dollar 1x 1974 half dollar 1x 1979 half dollar 1x 1980-p half dollar 1x 1983-p half dollar 1x 1989-p half dollar 1x 1997-d half dollar 1x 1998-p half dollar Edited by ThePiggy

ThePiggy Unless these are in GEM UNC condition, the lot won't make you rich. The 1894 Liberty nickel is pricey in grades above F12. If the 37-D buffalo only has 3 legs, you're in luck! On the 1942 Merc check for the expensive 2/1 overdate. Dimes, quarters, halves and dollars dated 1964 and prior are 90% silver. The 67 Kennedy is 40% silver. All the other moderns (65 and later) are pretty much face value unless they are gem unc. Hope this helps. |

The 1894 nickel is a better date, and goes up really fast in value on the higher grades. Worth posting pics of to have us grade it.
Check the 1937-d nickel for the 3-legged variety.
The Booker comm might have a bit of a premium over melt, but the rest of them are pretty common unless they are very high grades.
Nice lot!

SeatedNut and johnny covered everything pretty well. If you post up pictures we might be able to tell you a little more.

Unfortunately the 1894 is pretty worn. It may go for $4-5 or so in that shape. I love the look of that Peace dollar! Nice and original. |

by the way the liberty, buffalo, and 1940-s nickels are not silver. and all of the halves, 71 and up are not silver same with the Ike dollars |

I wish I had found some keepable stuff from when I was a kid, but I can not recall ever having any silver, and only a couple of run of the mill 1950s wheats. Not even a Buffalo nickel. |

Sure would have like to have seen a die crack in Miss Liberty's hair or on that eagle's wing.

Adam E, yes, I know they aren't silver. They were just in the box of "silver" coins, as in the color. When I was young and I first started collecting coins, I kept them in boxes based on color. Thanks for the info though!
