<p>[QUOTE="Dave M, post: 2904706, member: 17469"]I was asked by my mother to take a look through a stash of coins her recently deceased mother had accumulated.

There are rolls of circulated 90% and 40% silver quarters, halves, and dollars, some back to walking liberty halves and morgan dollars. Once I look at the mintages in Numista (virtually all are minted in the millions), are these essentially worth melt? There's one roll of 1966 Kennedy halves that looks like it came from the bank, most are shiby uncirculated. Any value for those?</p><p><br /></p><p>It looks to me like most of this should probably just go to my local dealer where he'll give us some cash for the silver content, after everyone grabs a coin or two as a memento.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'll probably have more questions later, haven't opened up the "random assortment" box yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

I'll probably have more questions later, haven't opened up the "random assortment" box yet. Thanks[/QUOTE]
