Okay I have some coins. The first and last picture is of 3 Morgan Silver Dollars (1921). They are in good shape except I had them for awhile and they have some black type stuff on it now. How much would you say they would cost. Also my sister has some. The second picture is of I think Susan B. Anthony coin dollar (1979). How much would that be? Great shape! (silver) The next picture is a Dwight D. Eisenhower coin (1972) (silver) (good shape) How much? The next one is just three president coins (gold) (in order: George Washington, John Adams, and William Henry Harrison) Should I keep these? I feel like it.
the morgan dollars are currently worth 26-27 dollars melt , the susan b anthony isn't silver and is worth $1 as well as the presidential dollars , the Ike is worth 10-11 dollars melt if it is in fact silver and you can check for an "S" mintmark to see.
Greetings and welcome to Cointalk! Jon4485 pointed out some basics which you may or may not be familiar with. The Morgan dollars are not rare in that year unless they are in extremely excellent condition so they are worth their weight in silver which is currently about $27 each in melt value. You can check the current price at www.coinflation.com which is a great site. The Susab B. is silver in color but should have a copper band around the rim which indicates that it is a copper-nickel coin and not actually silver. Same goes for the Ike dollar, from what I can see it is not actually silver and thus worth about $1.25. The presidential dollars are interesting but are widely available as you can go into most banks and get them. Hope this helps! J
Same with the Eisenhower dollar. Check for the copper in the edge, because that is the difference of $1-$11 if it is silver.
Check the Prez dollars for edge lettering irregularities. I can't tell if the Susie B. is a near date or not. Your photos are too blurry. Chris
The president dollars are not gold. They have a pure copper core with out layers of manganese brass. Their composition is 77% copper, 12% zinc, 7% manganese and 4% nickel. They're worth face value with an added bonus of entertainment when you go to spend them at lunch. Also, just because you don't see them often or see people spending them does not mean they are rare. There's so many billions of them sitting unused in federal reserve banks that they are debating canceling the presidential dollar program. We would still have the Sacageweas anyway.
I thought the Susan B. Anthony had a narrow rim, but the pic wasn't clear enough to be sure. I just spent 6 of those. Unless it is a "Near Date" variety, those are worth a dollar. The Presidential dollars are brass and stamped out by the millions intended for general use. Those are also worth a dollar each. A buyer at a recent coin show was paying $23 for the Morgans and selling them for $25. Silver has risen some sinc then. Best to check out the "coininflation" site. A lot of us collect coins not for the value they may have, but because we like them. It's like most collections of things. Some items can be valuable, others, not so much. But you have a start.
Thanks everyone. I'll try to post newer pics by tomorrow. I'll try to get a better light. Anyway, thanks for the info.
