<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 1213765, member: 19423&quot;]If you&#039;re certain they are genuine 90% silver coins (checked the weight, looked at the edge, etc.) then that is a really neat find!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If I had those coins, I&#039;d be sending them in for professional certification to a grading company like PCGS.&nbsp; Even if you&#039;re not planning on selling them soon, the third party certifcation of the coin will benefit you in the event something happens to you and the coins are passed along to someone else who isn&#039;t as careful about checking the coins as you have been.&nbsp; Of course, the cerfication also will make it many times easier to sell and you&#039;ll get much more money for a certified example if you did choose to sell.&nbsp; Getting mint error coins certified isn&#039;t cheap though.&nbsp; I know at PCGS it&#039;s a little over $50 a coin + shipping.&nbsp; NGC is the other company you could consider for certification (you don&#039;t have to be a member to submit the coins if you&#039;re already a member of the ANA).&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t use any other company that those two.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hard to say what the value of these errors would be as that is also dependent on their condition.&nbsp; Are they worn down or are they brilliant uncirculated?&nbsp; In order to get a value estimate, I&#039;d try to get a decent photo of the coins if possible and I&#039;d be contacting one of the major error coin dealers such as Fred Weinberg.&nbsp; Many dealers won&#039;t give you firm value estimates unless they can see a coin in person, but they should be able to give you a ballpark range.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>But for reference, I did a quick search in the Heritage Auction archives and found that certified examples of the 1965 90% silver dime have sold from around $2000 (damaged coin) up to $5000+ for problem free examples.&nbsp; The 1965 silver quarters have sold from around $2500 (cleaned coin) up to $5000+ for problem free coins.&nbsp; Even an XF45 1965 silver quarter sold for $5500 this April.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck and keep us posted![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
