Longshot, but there is a possibility that a Morgan or Peace dollar might be a better date. You would need to take individual pics of the front and back to show the date, mint (if any) and a good representation of the condition. You might get lucky, but I wouldn't old out much hope based on the condition. I don't see anything else that is interesting/valuable but it's hard to tell from the pic. The pre-1964 coins have 90% silver value, as do the 1965-69 halves (40% silver). Ikes are probably worth a little over, but not much. The Mexican peso and other foreign with a star (Cuban??) look common, the 2 Indian cents look in pretty poor condition to have any collector value and the bicentennial coins are worth face vale. Sorry there couldn't be better news.

 

Thanks for the info, I will have do get more picks of the backs of them.

 

Are these coins something you are looking to sell?

 

I would like some of those pieces.

Most Likely but I will get them checked out before I start selling them, I was just looking for thoughts from collectors on the coins atm.

 

Funny but I think I see a circulation worn Eisenhower, I had no idea that those even existed!

 

They are unique, an estate sale find?

 

Very funny story. in early 2000's (2002 I think) my grandmothers house was broken into and thousands of dollars of jewelry,money etc was stolen. The police found were the theives stashed their goods but we never recovered some of our family jewelry.
The police told us to take what was at the stash even though some of the stuff was not ours and these coins were in the stash. These coins have been sitting in an bank for the past 15 years and we never thought anything of them.

 

Well I would be happy to take them for free. Lol.

 

Hello Blackbeard! Nice little stash you have there!

As numismatists, we are all drooling over the potential of what you have there. The Peace and Morgan dollars alone have the possibility of fetching you some good money (depending on Mint Marks, etc...).

For the Morgans and Peace dollars, I think you'll want to definitely get good pictures of both the Obverse and Reverse in order to make better determinations on value of the coins.

As for the Kennedy half dollars, several of those coins are 90% silver and some are 40% silver. They may not be collectable, but they are worth their weight in silver.

Here's a few sights you can take a look at if you're interested in round about values as you begin to sort through those coins.

1st site is a silver coin value guide. This gives you an idea of how much each coin is worth based on current silver trading values:

2nd site is one I use to get a general idea of the value of collectable coins. Bear in mind, these values fluctuate greatly, based on market supply and demand, as well as trends. I like this page simply to get an idea of what the coin will be generally worth.

If you'd like any further help, please let me know, or you can post in this thread. The people on this site are not only knowledgeable, but reputable and trustworthy as well!

 

Nice find. I would buy them all.

 

Eisenhowers are still in circulation but not popular. My banker offers me a pile of them every so often so I look for nicer ones and spend the rest.

 

I believe the Eisenhower dollar was originally produced under lobbying pressure from casino owners. Many of the places which had dollar slots back in the 50's & 60's used old and worn 90% silver dollars. Came 1964/65 and the silver value of even a trashed Morgan or Peace dollar climbed well above one dollar. The casino owners saw potential profits walking out the door whenever anyone had a win - or even changed bills for the worn silver "slugs" and didn't bother putting any in the slots, just took them, walked out the door, and scrapped them at a profit.
Before casinos figured out they could create their own silver dollar-sized tokens which also had advertising value, they desperately wanted something to use in their very profitable dollar slots. A token silver dollar-sized coin filled the bill nicely.
I have no proof of this at all - it's merely a theory - but it also explains why you occasionally encounter an Ike with far more wear than you could ever believe it had in real circulation - since, of course, they never really circulated.
I suppose some folks carried them as "pocket pieces", although that tradition was seriously on the wane by the time the Ikes made the scene.
When my kids were young - Ikes were what the tooth fairy brought.

 

Do you recommend I take the coins to an NGC certified person to be looked at? I know some of the peace and morgans look brand new/ in decent condis.

 

I would also like your guys thoughts on an $25 unopened roll of 2000 Golden Dollars.

 

First of all, these are not gold. Actually a combination of alloys that create the appearance of gold. Secondly, you can sell the unopened roll or open it and sell the dollars as singular pieces. But personally, I would keep it unopened as it is from the Mint.

 

just refering to them as what the U.S Mint has called them on package.
