<p>[QUOTE="The_Cave_Troll, post: 51323, member: 1674"]OldDan's advice is sound, the "Red Book" is a fabulous source of information and it will give you some prices. Be cautioned though, the prices are not usually accurate since prices fluctuate continuously and the book is printed once a year (the 2006 edition just came out). The prices WILL provide you with a reference to which coins in a series are more valuable than others in the series.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will list the "good" dates for each series that you mention. The letters following some of the dates are mintmark and the redbook will help you locate where they are, they are vitally important in determinimy a coins value. Any date with an * after it is a key coin in the series, some of them can be quite valuable. Any of the coins that are 90% silver are worth about 5x face value in silver. That means that a silver dime is worth about 50¢. Most circulated modern silver coins fall into this category. Coins in high grades and coins with scarce dates will be worth more. </p><p><br /></p><p>Roosevelt Dimes : Silver </p><p>-1949</p><p>-1949D</p><p>-1949S*</p><p>-1951S (in high grade only)</p><p><br /></p><p>Washington Quarters : Silver</p><p>-1932</p><p>-1932D*</p><p>-1932S*</p><p>-1936*</p><p>-1936D*</p><p>-1936S</p><p>-1937D</p><p>-1937S</p><p>-1938</p><p>-1938S</p><p>-1939D</p><p>-1939S</p><p>-1940D</p><p>-1942S</p><p>-1943S</p><p>-1949</p><p> </p><p>Walking Liberty Half Dollars</p><p>-1916</p><p>-1916D</p><p>-1916S*</p><p>-1917D (both varieties)</p><p>-1917S (mint mark on obverse only)</p><p>-1919</p><p>-1919D</p><p>-1919S</p><p>-1920D</p><p>-1921*</p><p>-1921D*</p><p>-1921S</p><p>-1938D*</p><p> </p><p>Franklin Half Dollars</p><p>-1949D (in high grades only)</p><p>-1949S (in high grades only)</p><p>-1955*</p><p><br /></p><p>Kennedy Half Dollars : Silver </p><p>-1964 (90% silver, so $2.50 each)</p><p>-1965 through 1969 (40% silver, so worth about 85¢ each)</p><p>-1970D*</p><p><br /></p><p>Morgan Dollars </p><p>-1878CC</p><p>-1879CC*</p><p>-1880CC*</p><p>-1881CC*</p><p>-1882CC</p><p>-1883CC</p><p>-1884CC</p><p>-1885CC*</p><p>-1886S</p><p>-1888S</p><p>-1889CC*</p><p>-1889S</p><p>-1890CC</p><p>-1891CC</p><p>-1892CC</p><p>-1892S (especially valuable in high grade)</p><p>-1893</p><p>-1893CC*</p><p>-1893O*</p><p>-1893S**</p><p>-1894*</p><p>-1894S</p><p>-1895**</p><p>-1895O*</p><p>-1895S*</p><p>-1896S</p><p>-1901 (in high grades only)</p><p>-1902S</p><p>-1903O*</p><p>-1903S</p><p>-1904S</p><p><br /></p><p>Peace Dollars </p><p>-1921*</p><p>-1928*</p><p>-1934S</p><p><br /></p><p>Eisenhower Dollars</p><p>-None are valuable in circulated condition.
