<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1116239, member: 18157&quot;]The rolls you describe sound like Original Bank Wrapped (OBW) rolls. The silver content of the rolls 1964 and earlier is (at current prices) $250/roll. OBW rolls sell at a premium over that if they are tightly wrapped, truly unsearched rolls. eBay can give you a good idea of what folks are currently paying for similar items.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My observations lead me to believe that most coins enjoy a numismatic pop in value around the 70 year mark. Your coins are about 50 year old and you sound like you&#039;re young enough to wait 20 years for a nice payday.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If I were you, I would buy &quot;The Complete Guide to Franklin Half Dollars&quot; by Rick Tomaska...a very enjoyable read! You may find that the uniqueness of the mint variations you find will be a very fun treasure hunt. Just dumping (potentially) great rarities off to a dealer for scrap is sacreligeous!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Coins are a piece of history you can hold in your hand. Your Grandfather obviously enjoyed the &quot;Hobby of Kings&quot; quite a bit. I&#039;m sure he would be pleased if you enjoyed his legacy as much as he enjoyed leaving it to you.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Btw...:welcome: to CT!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
