<p>[QUOTE=&quot;joecoincollect, post: 2462119, member: 71338&quot;]Although franklins are not expensive for collectors, unc grades do cost 2-3 times over spot at a store. For example, I see Uncs for 16 dollars when melt is at 6 or so for one. If they are in fact Uncs, I wouldn&#039;t sell them just for melt value (and you&#039;ll be offered below melt as well). If they were unc 1963s I&#039;d get a tad over melt, if an older date like 1950, I&#039;d expect much more like 4 or 5 over melt. That&#039;s just me though. Look up an mint state grade 60-63 on NGCs online price guide for common dates to get a feel for what they retail at. Then maybe look at a blue book or grey sheet if you can get your hands on one. An earlier unc roll of franklins is in no way junk silver. Even problem free xfs are collectible and should afford you something over melt in my opinion. Vf and below, problem ones, then melt or below. If you got common date Morgans in xf or better and do not have problems (not cleaned, no rim dings, scratches, etc), then I&#039;d expect more than melt for those. Be carefull or you will cheat yourself of lots of money. Try and find someone who is familiar with coins, more so than you, and who is trust worthy, and then look at the coins with him. You&#039;ll learn a lot. Another idea is to flip through some basic coin books at your library or Barnes and noble. Theres even a book on what to do if you inherit coins. You don&#039;t have to buy it, but peruse it with some coffee. You sound like you got more than junk silver. Don&#039;t speed through this point you&#039;re at or you&#039;ll regret it later sometime[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
