Your collection, to me, looks to be worth it's weight in silver. none of the coins are in great shape (by collecting standards).

Silver value is about 10x face value, and applies to everything except your pennies and nickels.

Thanks for all the pics, now to catch up...

Your '38 and '39 5¢ are nice, about VG-8 and worth .35 and .25 in Trends. The 38 may still have mint lustre in the most protected area, i.e. under the lettering, which could make it F-12.

Your 1950 50¢ (design in 0) is a fantastic example of the hearing aid variety! This is a known obverse minor die variety caused by die clash. What you're seeing is the negative image of part of the reverse of the coin. Nice VF-30, worth maybe $10-15 with the hearing aid.

the '49 50¢ is around F-15, not the hoof over 9 var., worth melt.

'38 and '39 25¢ are VG-8 but due to their rarity you could get more than melt.

the '51 quarter is high relief, low grade and worth melt.

the other quarters are ordinary and low grade, unfortunately not worth much more than melt. I think we covered the 1918 in another post.

Well thanks for all your help guys. I am going to be putting this small collection back into long term storage. Maybe a 200 year timecapsule or whatever!

sell them for silver and buy yourself ONE nice coin for the money.
then save some money and buy another, then another...and by then you are hooked.. Before you know, you will post a picture of 1921 50 cent piece....which you just found in another of your dad's cigar boxes, unless you have one already.
