[QUOTE="MontCollector, post: 3716669, member: 85496"]Welcome to CT!! First off sorry for your loss. While I can't speak for the Half dollars anymore than to say they are well circulated but still worth at least the melt value of the silver in them. Now the Morgan dollars can be a little different. This is one of the most common US Silver Dollars that people collect. Unless there is some sort of problem with the coin most of them will be worth more than melt. I am not talking a lot of money here, but enough that it might be worth getting them looked at. If you have any Uncirculated Morgans or any that have a little CC (Carson City Mint) on the bottom of the reverse these could be worth quite a bit over melt. The Eisenhower dollars are commonly referred to as "silver" Dollars. This is misleading. Most Ikes actually have no silver in them.
