    everything but the nickels have silver, the half dollars are 90% silver if they are 1964 and before and after that until 1970 they are 40% silver, all the dimes are 90% silver

    All of the dimes are contain 90% silver.

    Any 1964 Kennedys Contain 90% silver.

    Any 1965-1970 Kennedys Contain 40 % silver.

    The halves you have that are 1963 are Franklins and are also 90% silver.

    The nickels are not silver

    If this is an accurate count, thats one nice grandma!

    If I were you, I would ask another question, what is the grading of each coin and do they have mint marks? The years that you mention seem pretty common, but a good quality coin could gain you some serious value.

    thanks so much guys.

    Phil Ham,
    most of them look uncirculated and are starting to tone a nice gold color. I am planing on saving them for a long time.
     
  8. Based on silver selling at $17.35 an ounce you have a silver coin melt value of $609.00. Thanks to Grandma. - :hail:
