Any 1964 Kennedys Contain 90% silver. Any 1965-1970 Kennedys Contain 40 % silver. The halves you have that are 1963 are Franklins and are also 90% silver. The nickels are not silver If this is an accurate count, thats one nice grandma!   11-02-2009, 06:02 PM   #4 (permalink) boxerchip Runnin' Buffalo     Join Date: Jun 2009 Posts: 430 First let me start off by saying *SHAKES FIST!!!!

Send grandma a thank you card and tell her all your friends are very jealous   11-02-2009, 07:06 PM   #5 (permalink) Phil Ham Hamster     Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: New York Posts: 518 If I were you, I would ask another question, what is the grading of each coin and do they have mint marks? The years that you mention seem pretty common, but a good quality coin could gain you some serious value.   11-07-2009, 02:02 PM   #6 (permalink) Dano83 Member     Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Pittsburg, Ca Posts: 103 thanks so much guys. Phil Ham, most of them look uncirculated and are starting to tone a nice gold color. I am planing on saving them for a long time. __________________ My Modern Coins: http://danscoins.ning.com/photo/album/list   11-07-2009, 02:57 PM   #7 (permalink) BeauCoinCollect Member     Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Macon, GA Posts: 83 Based on silver selling at $17.35 an ounce you have a silver coin melt value of $609.00.
