Hello, I know absolutely nothing about coins and I was hoping someone could help me. A relative passed away and I came across a few older coins and I have no idea what I have or what they are worth. I've attached some pictures of the coins. If someone could give me an estimate of their value, I would really appreciate it. I also have quite a few Eisenhower dollars. Are they worth anything? Some are from 1976 (bicentennial), 1974, 1971, and 1977. I also have several Kennedy half dollars from the following year: 98, 79, 94, 71, and 72. I'm assuming the Eisenhower and Kennedy coins are worth face value. There were also many wheat pennies. Is there anything I should be looking for with these pennies? Are they worth much more than a penny? Thank you very much for any help you can give me.
this is a helpful sight to know what they are worth in silver value. I'm sure others will step in and let you know if any of these have any collector value. they will like want to see the back of the top three coins as well. All of these coins are silver except the 2 nickles. http://www.coinflation.com/coins/silver_coin_calculator.html 3 silver dollars = 77.96 6 half dollars = 72.92 1 silver dime = 2.43 total = 153.31 Spot silver value is changing every second!! If you want to sell any of this at melt value let me know. (sorry for your loss. I recently aquired a stamp collection in this way. It was inconsiderate for me to assume you are giong to be selling. )
Welcome to the neighborhood! We would need to see both sides of each coin to give you an idea about their condition, but FWIW, the melt value of these would be: Morgan & Peace dollars - .77344 x spot price Walking Liberty & Franklin half dollars - .36169 x spot price Winged Liberty dime - .07234 x spot price The Buffalo nickels contain no silver.

:welcome:Cointalk. unless the Dollar + half silver + buffalo's coin are Key dates or mint marks ?that could change the price like the Buffalo + Mercury dime Walking liberty halves if there a Die Variety? ->Red Book@$15.00 would help a lot! Also a few closeup photos of coin Obv+ rev:thumb:. wheat cent 1909-58-PDS key dates.the link below should help,:kewl: http://www.lincolncentresource.com/
Your mercury dime is a 1941. If, on the back, it has an S mint mark near the bottom, there are two sizes of that mint mark: large and small. If you have a large mint mark, it's worth a bit more than a small mint mark. Here's how to distinguish http://www.arsave.com/variety_resource_dimes
The dime has a D on the back and not an S. Is the value of these coins all in the silver content, or are any of them worth more than their silver? Thanks
Well it would help if we could read the mint marks, which we can't. If you can go through and list the year and mint mark of each coin, that can help us get an idea if you have any rare varieties (unless you can post better pictures in which we can read the mint mark)
