[QUOTE="Lainie, post: 58999, member: 3558"]I have inherited a box of 95 quarters and approximately 100 dimes from my grandfather. The earliest is 1941 and none are later than 1965, and he included a note in the box that they are silver. I don't know much of anything about coin collecting, but the grade of the coins is not very good. They all appear to have been circulated, and they are all dirty to some extent, some worse than others, except for a few that look like they were cleaned. I think my grandfather held on to these because he felt the silver would be valuable some day. (He was not a coin collector.) I know it is impossible for anyone to tell me the value (especially without photos) but I'm just wondering if I should hold on to these. As a coin collector, would you keep these, or should I just start using them for laundry money? Also, is it even worth my money to have them appraised?[/QUOTE]
