Hello! This is my first post, been reading the forums a while. I bought some coins today from a kid who bids on storage bins. They look like Miniature Morgan dollars? There is 2 of them, and the condition is "Run over by a Semi- Bad". Also, they are a little bit over 21mm around compared to a 24.25mm 1999 Quater dollar.

The backs of both used to be stamped, but it is about 95% gone and completely unrecognizable

Also, I bought from him a coin set in a slab. I can not see what the coins in have common at all or while they are slabbed together. It is a

1968 Kennedy half
1951 Quater
1942 Mercury dime (i belive) with what looks to be a "W" stamp
1940 nickle
1937 Wheat penny
I cant see why these were put together
I paid under $50 for these coins did I do good or terrible?

Thanks a lot in advance for any help!

to CCF!

You have about $16.63 in silver value.
If either of you V nickles are 1885 or 1886, then you did well.

What is the date and mint mark of the Lincoln Cent?

The Lincoln Cent is a 1937 and I dont see a mint mark?

$16 in silver thats neat. Is it legal to melt down American money? Not that I am going to send them to a smelter, just wondering

Not really a deal, hope you paid way under $50.00. The two V nickels seem to be better dates, 1887 & 1890, although they look to be FR-2 and probably worth about a buck each. I can find those dates in the nickel buckets at my local dealer. As for the "slab" it is in a five-coin snap-tite holder, and like Chris said, $16-$17 in silver, plus two circulated minor coins, all probably picked from circulation. Having a RedBook or similar recent price guide in hand will definitely help you in your next purchase of US coins, IMO.
