Junk Silver or treasures?

I have a couple of coins that I was wondering if they are just junk silver or do they have any numismatic value.

Thank you for looking and your comments

The Franklins, Morgan and Peace are all melt. Hate calling coins junk.

 

The Peace and Frankies are just junk silver, and we could use pictures of both sides of the Morgan dollar, along with what the date is. The dime, I don't know off the top of my head.

EDIT: Looks like it's a 1921. Might have some value to a lowball collector, but otherwise, junk.

 

The Dime looks F-12 ish based on photograde, but even in G it is not melt.

It seems to be a common date, maybe 10-12 dollars if you were selling (melt is about 2), but you would need to ask someone who deals in these.

Nice coin, & Good luck.

 

Yeah, the halves are junk.

 

why do you copywrite your pictures?

we aren't talking scarce pieces or anything.


so, no one is going to 'steal' them.

 

Actually this brings up a question I've been dealing with. When it comes to barber halves, do people actually want coins that are G-4 but the common dates or do you just sell them for melt now that silver has them at 10-11 bucks each

 

I was wondering the same thing... copyright notations on photographs haven't been required since 1989. All photographs are copyrighted... but rarely are infringement violations enforced. I don't recall ever seeing a copyright notation on any photos here on CT.

 

Copyright watermark

I have had several photos that have been "borrowed". I didn't appreciate that someone would adopt my photos as their own. It is nice that they like my photos, I just wish that they would have acknowledged me as the actual photographer. I now place my watermark on all my photos. Adobe Lightroom 3 makes it easy to include a copyright watermark on all exported photos. The watermark doesn't add or detract from the subject of the photo. I also realize that it is simple to copy my photos and crop the photo so that the watermark is eliminated.

 

Even worse, you're putting your full name out there for people to find on photos... I could probably fairly easily track you down based off your name and username.

 

...track me down? Am I a fugitive? I have no coins / bullion at my home, it's all in safe deposit boxes. If you want to say hello I'm agreeable.

 

I'm just making a point that throwing your name out there on a forum like this is probably not the greatest idea. If you're gonna use a copyright stamp, make it your username or something instead of your real name.

 

Agree about the Peace dollar and Franklin halves. But the '21 dollar is in the most wretched condition I've ever seen for a Morgan, short of outright damage, and unless the reverse is some special variety or major error, I can't see how this coin could fetch any kind of premium, even from a "lowball" collector.

 

eeeeeer ooops...... lol

 

The 1887 dime is 123 years old, undamaged and in fine condition. You sort of have an obligation to future collectors to keep it away from the smelters, even if you don't much care for it yourself.

You'd only get $2 or so anyway.

 

one mans junk is another mans treasure.............no coin is junk to me (except non circulating legal tender such as the somali guitars) any old coin has a story to tell and we are just the latest in a long line who have felt the story.

 

well that exactly my attitude as well

 

how many times have you held a coin in your hang and wondered about it's history? whose pockest or purse has it been in? who first held it? coins are much more than chunks of metal they are living history.

 

thats why i hate the fact that so many coins are melted what some people consider scrap could be the star of some one elses collection if they cant afford to be a big time collector (like me)

 

Are there really that many coins being melted? For example, during the '79-'80 silver craze, there was talk of tons of US and other silver coins being melted, but even today, some 30+ years later, what were considered common US silver coins then are still considered common coins.
