    Coin collected through relatives and I'm wanting to know if you think they are worth being certified 2015-10-04 17-03-36.337.jpg 2015-10-04 17-04-58.495.jpg 2015-10-04 17-08-12.582.jpg 2015-10-04 17-09-35.232.jpg 2015-10-04 17-11-08.063.jpg 2015-10-04 17-11-40.276.jpg 2015-10-04 17-12-44.089.jpg 2015-10-04 17-13-08.181.jpg 2015-10-04 17-14-03.029.jpg 2015-10-04 17-14-35.120.jpg 2015-10-04 17-04-58.495.jpg 2015-10-04 17-08-12.582.jpg

    Everything looks to be normal well circulated silver coins. They are worth a bit more than melt but nothing I would bother spending the money to get graded.

    I'm still navigating adding comments and uploading photos so please bear with me. As you can see somehow the Morgan Dollar Reverse is shown twice ,second time in place of the reverse of the 1935 Morgan Dime, I will post another 10 and this time include a bit more of a discription, so please if you see anything that would qualify the first 4 and 1/2 coins for certification let me know.
    Regards CoinOp2

    I believe you're confusing Mercury Dimes and Morgan Dollars.

    Your silver dollars are Morgan and the silver dimes are Mercury.

    FWIW, I agree with the other posters. . . Nice pieces for a collection, but so far not worth the price of certification. The value of the posted coins is right around silver melt.

    If these are coins collected through family members, possibly they're worth more to you than melt value?

    Thank you so much must have been a Senior moment or two and being confused seems to be a trademark for the decades of wear . Perhaps I can do better next post. Thanks for your demeanor and being straight forward.

    I'm not one of them but some purists prefer to refer to them as "Winged Liberty Head" dimes.

    Keep them out of plastic tombs and love them, your relatives did and so can you. My most precious coins are not the best grades possible, nor are they worth being graded. To me they are priceless, one of them is an 1867 2 cent piece that my grandfather got in 1897 from his older brother - so he could buy candy in town after he went to have the rest of his pinkie finger amputated after a corn shucker accident. He gave it to me when I was about 10 years old and it has been in the family for 118 years. It would be just a VF 2 cent piece to anyone else.

    I also have a little coin purse that was my great great grandfathers, it has about 75-80 cents in change in it- was what he had in it when he passed away in 1919. Sometime I will image it and the contents and post about it.

    All nice looking well circulated coins. Nothing worth spending the money to certify but definitely worth adding to my collection.

    I hate to be a contrarian (not really), but the pictured coins are neither worth certifying nor worth keeping for a collection. My advice would be to sell the Mercury dimes for their bullion value. Circulated Morgan dollars have some premium over their bullion value, but I don't know what buyers are paying at the present time. Call some outfit like SilverTowne (you can get their toll-free number by going to silvertowne.com) and ask what they're paying for 90% junk silver and well-circulated Morgan dollars. Then use the funds to buy some nice coins, such as uncirculated Mercs and uncirculated Morgans. That's my honest opinion.

    Thats what makes America great is honest opinions/advice. Thank you so much Mike Thorne, i am wanting to give those coins the relatives passed to me a better chance of exposure with better photography to see if there is something i missed that you the experts may see to increase thier value like doubling or mint errors. Please bear with me tolerating a few more threads of possibly less than F coins, perhaps there may be a mint error in there somewhere.

    Well, here's my honest opinion....

    Who the hell are you to say a coin isn't worth keeping in a collection? Should ScottishMoney dump deeply meaningful coins from departed family simply because they are not up to the standard or may not hold the monetary value you find worthwhile? The fact is that a collection is a very personal thing that in no way needs to conform to anyone else's standards, including yours. It is one thing to honestly tell someone a coin isn't worth submitting, but something different altogether to tell them it's not worth collecting.

    While sure you didn't mean any harm, respect is a two-way street. "Uncirculated Mercs and uncirculated Morgans" are, with obvious exceptions, dime a dozen and blah material more often than not. That is my opinion, yet if you shared coins in your collection that fit this general description, I wouldn't use the opportunity to tell you as much.

    Good examples of circulated coins but not worth getting "graded" The correct term for the dimes is "Winged Liberty" and the dollar is "Morgan" Good luck with the rest of your collection. You've found the best/helpful group possible....
