I realize condition goes a long way in determining values, but if anyone could give me some rough ideas on values on these coins, I'd really appreciate it. I'd like to get rid of them and want to make sure I get a good price. Unless noted, coins are in average condition: 1891 O silver dollar (decent shape) 1907 D half dollar 1943 half dollar 1944 S half dollar 1845 penny (decent shape) 1883, 1891, 1897 nickel 1901 dime 1900, 1903, 1904, 1905 penny 1935 G silver cert. bills (with motto) Thanks!!
Like Covert said, we'd really need high quality pics of at least the best ones of the group to give any kind of real assessment. Also, the 1883 nickel has two varities. One just has a 'V' (roman numeral 5) on the reverse and the word 'CENTS' is 'left off' the bottom. That's the 'no cents' variety. They added CENTS on the back to the second variety so people wouldn't color them gold and try to pass them off as $5 gold pieces. It was a new issue and some did try doing that at the time. The ones with cents are more valuable. For the coins, considering they might be anywhere from Good to Fine, a really rough estimate...... you're probably looking around the neighborhood of $150.00 to $200.00 ballpark, best case scenario. No real rarities. If they're lesser condition than I'm guessing, maybe $100 to $150 range. That's if you're willing to do the work and sell them yourself. If you take them to a dealer, they'll probably offer you half that. If the silver certificates are very fresh and crisp, like new, they will be worth a little. I'm not that up on them but I know most are very common in high grades if somebody wants one.
BTW, I guessed relatively low grades because most of the time when someone comes across a small collection of loose coins like this (not in a grading company's holder) they are normally well worn. That is the most common scenario, but not an absolute rule. The Indian head pennies should say 'Liberty' on the headband. That's a significant factor in grading them. If you can't read it at all, they are well worn. If only a few letters are readable, that is usually the 2nd to lowest grade available. The most potential for value is the 1883 nickel and the 1891-O Morgan dollar, depending on what the nickel is and what they look like.
