<p>[QUOTE="Travlntiques, post: 1887876, member: 39129"]My father passed 17 years ago when I was 6 and I continued with his coin collection, it's a very rewarding hobby and between the memories & my passion for ...well, money, it's been a lot of fun! Unfortunately it sounds like most of your Dad's collection was purchased from dealers and assembled from 1964 on, which limits the likelihood of any extreme rarities, but it's a nice set! On all of the Morgan Silver Dollars, do you know where the Mint Mark would be located? It's on the back just beneath the wreath. If any Morgans (especially the 1885's) are stamped with a "CC" for the Carson City mint, the value goes up dramatically. As far as the Dimes..... Look for 1916-D (Denver mint), 1921 (all mints), 1926-S (San Fran mint) & 1931-S (San Fran), these will bring a bigger premium and the 1916-D can command some crazy money!</p><p><br /></p><p>And he probably hoarded 1964 coins because that was the last year our Government used 90% silver for circulating coinage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
