I have some coins I'd like to sell, and I'm curious about if any of them are worth selling myself or having graded before taking everything to a coin dealer. It would also be helpful to know roughly what a coin dealer should be offering (even if it's not much) so I don't accept a low offer. Below is a link to the list of coins. (I can post the full list here too but wasn't sure if I'm allowed to post that much text.) I was able to find the year and mint mark for all but a few that have worn dates. I haven't tried to guess a grade for any of them but did list the VF-20 price according to the 9th edition of Megared for reference only. There are also a good number of foreign coins, mostly from Canada, that I'm not sure what to do with. Link to list of coins: https://coinlist.tiiny.site/ Pictures of selected coins below. I'm happy to post pictures of any others that are interesting.
The half dollars do not merit grading. They are honest marketable coins, but are not worth the value of having them slabbed. I would say $20.00 or so each. The Morgans appear to be better date Morgans. I am not a Morgan guy so I'll reserve any judgment on them and await a Morgan guys reply, but still yet I wouldn't have them graded. You won't gain anything..... Now keep in mind that a dealer has to make money too so he cannot pay you a retail value for your coins.
I would say no to the halves and cent. The morgans are scarce coins and i would send them for the authenticity because a-lot were faked. Here are some fakes notice the first one is a 95!!!
I'll use your number list. #1 I might be an off centered strike error, but I can't tell for sure from the picture you provided. #2-4 These are common dates so they're not worth much unless in really good condition. Expect around $0.50 each from a dealer. #5 I'd like to see a picture of these before I comment. #6-100 All these wheat cents are somewhat common. Wheat cents older than 1940 are worth a bit more than the ones from 1940-1958. I'd like to see pictures of #7 and #94. Expect $0.03 each for any dated 1940-1958 and about 5-25 cents each for the older ones. Some dealers pay more for 1943 steel cents (around $0.10 each). #101-144 Most if not all of these are worth face value. Check the 1969-S for a doubled date and lettering on the obverse. #145-147 Unless in higher grades, Liberty or V Nickels are worth about $1.50 each. Expect $0.25+ from a dealer. #148 Buffalo nickel are known for having their dates wear off. Sometime people soak them in vinegar to reveal the date. Expect $0.06 from a dealer. #149-151 Unless in higher grades, common date Buffalo Nickels are worth about $1 each. Expect $0.25+ from a dealer. #152-200 Any nickel 1942-1945 with a large mintmark above Monticello is 35% silver. Some 1942 nickel are not silver so check for the mintmark. All the rest are common and usually worth face value. You might be able to get $3-4 per roll if you sold them on ebay. Expect to get around $0.60 for the silver ones from a dealer. #201-217 unless in very high grades, they're worth face value. #218 1903-O is a better date for Barber dimes. I'd want to see a picture before giving a value. #219-223 I'd like to see a picture of these. Probably worth $2-3 each. #224-264 All these are 90% silver. Expect slightly less than melt value (about $2.35 as I write this) from a dealer (about $2 in today's market). #265-266 Worth face value. There are no mintmarks on coins made 1965-1967. #267-272 All these are 90% silver. Expect slightly less than melt value (about $5.80 as I write this) from a dealer (about $5 in today's market). #273-274 Unfortunately they have been cleaned so they're worth melt value. Expect about $10 from a dealer. #275 unless in higher grades, Franklin Half Dollars are worth melt value. #276-277 I'd highly recommend sending them to a grading company. If they're genuine, they're worth over $250 each. I'm 95% sure the 1893 is genuine. The 1895-O looks real, but It also could be a good counterfeit. I can't tell from a picture. If you're going to submit them, I'd suggest creating a new thread dedicated to these two coins. #278 Worth about $1.50-$2 each, retail.
For the Canadian, here's a site with forums. They also have a pricing sheets from auctions and guides in the site itself, not the forum part. https://coinsandcanada.com/forum/ https://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php
First, welcome to CT. Second, like a lot of members, I don’t do links. With the photos you posted: The Walking Liberty Half Dollars are both common dates and are basically worth melting value, about $12.50 each. The 1895-O Morgan Dollar is a tougher date. It should be worth around $300. The is also a better date, in the neighborhood of $150. The last photo looks like a 95% off center strike. Nice but only worth as bout $5.00 with no date.
I have little to add to @Mr. Numismatist's thorough list. I don't like the look of the 1895-O Morgan dollar, but I'm not confident in calling it a fake. The 1893 looks real to me; I'm not sure if the rim dent on the reverse would prevent it from getting a straight grade, but I'm pretty sure it's a three-figure coin regardless.
The halves would get roughly $10 each as "junk silver" from a dealer. The 1933-S may command a small premium. Some dealers may pay more or less, depending on how much they can get out of it. The 1895-O, whose authenticity is questionable, would grade roughly VF details. Greysheet is $375 for VF20, so you could expect to get around $250-325 from a dealer for a genuine coin. Otherwise, most dealers will either turn down a fake example or will probably pay no more than 50 cents to a dollar for it. The 1893 looks good to me. Old cleaning, G-6 details, with Greysheet/CPG of $210/275. You could expect to get around $150-200 for the coin from a dealer. At shows, it can go for more, but it may take a lot longer to sell. The blank penny looks like an off-center strike. Yes, it is off-center, but without a date, the value will be only a few dollars. I hope this helps.
Thank you all for the advice and for the welcome. I took some more pictures of the ones that were asked about: I wasn't able to get a much better picture the second time around. The strike on one side doesn't show any text and the other side has "ED ST" which I assume to be United States. These are the 1909 plain wheat pennies. I went back through and couldn't find #7 which is the supposed 1910 D, so I must have misread the date. #94 is the 1955 plain with UNC written on the coin holder. 1907 plain 1908 plain 1909 plain 1912 S 1916 S Thanks a lot. I posted separately about them here.
a good clear photo of the 1870 Canada 10 cent would be nice. Depending on grade, you may have a nice valued coin.
The off center cent is worth about $10 retail. I'm not active in that area of the market so I'm not sure what to expect from a dealer. Check the reverse of your 1909 cents for the designer's initials (V.D.B.). Victor David Brenner's initials were removed from the reverse part way through the year 1909. All yours are lower grade so you could expect around $1 for non-VDB's and $3-5 for VDB's. I thought you may have mistaken a worn "S" mintmark for a "D" on your 1910. The Denver mint didn't make cents until 1911 so there isn't a such thing as a genuine 1910-D Lincoln Cent. 1910-S is a semi-key date. While the 1955 is a nice coin, it's worth maybe 25 cents retail. Later year uncirculated wheat cents aren't very valuable unless in very high grades (MS-66+) and with original red color. Based on your pictures, I would grade your 1903-O Dime as G-6. All your other Barber Dimes are also very worn, so like I said, $2-3 each. Expect around $5 from a dealer for the 1903-O. Steel cents are popular, but they're also very plentiful. Unless they're uncirculated, they're not worth more than a dollar or two.
