    Hard to know without knowing the dates/mint marks of them. Additionally if there are any that are in good shape then they would obviously be worth more. Best I can do with the pictures provided is to guide to to coinflation.com to see the melt value.

    If you're wondering if any of them have a numismatic value above the melt value, you would have to provide good photos of the obverse and reverse of each coin individually.

    If it's the silver value you're looking for,
    Face Value X 12.5.

    The above post will give you a good idea. It will save everybody a lot of effort. For $15 you can buy something called the Red Book. Google it. It would be your next step to refine your estimate.

    Looks like its probably just "junk" silver, worth about 13X face value right now. But ya never know, its always possible you could have some coins in there worth more.

    Where did ya find em? :)

    For coins like that to be found, they first have to be lost. Can't think of a soul that would collect that many coins then forget where they put them.

    My great grandmother collected them, I just got them from her house. I heard she had about 300 Morgan/peace dollers but someone else already took them

    :(

    The Morgans and Peace dollars would be worth close to $4000!

    Are you sure other family members are cool with you taking a thousand dollars or so out of her house? Are there other great grandkids who should share in the money that you get from the coins? Is she dead? Is there a will? You may want to ask a few questions before you sell them.
