[QUOTE="Endeavor, post: 2325992, member: 60292"]Hello and welcome. Although I don't really see anything rare, looks like some nice coins. For the most part everyone here is helpful and very knowledgeable. Taking the consensus opinion is usually accurate. You are correct that several of those coins in your photos are silver and therefore worth at least the value of the metal. Any half dollars, quarters and dimes from 1964 and earlier are 90% silver. Kennedy half dollars from 1965 to 1970 are 40% silver. The value of your inherited coins will ultimately depend on condition and rarity. My recommendation is to look at eBay's completed auctions (as in already sold) as well as current listings, especially Buy-It-Now since active auction prices are still not finalized. I second Chris's recommendation to purchase a Red Book. It's definitely worth its price. Like Chris also mentioned, don't put much faith in the price guide. Only use it to gauge whether something does have some value and to compare more or less its value to other coins of that series/type. Good luck![/QUOTE]
