<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rodeoclown, post: 1333916, member: 34005&quot;]Welcome and welcome to coin collecting. I&#039;d say that was a fair price on the auction you won, definitely a good way to get started for relatively cheap. The 10 pre64 dimes you got are at least worth the $26 you paid.</p><p><br /></p><p>So here&#039;s some info about your coins you pointed out:</p><p><br /></p><p>1970 D Kennedy half is 40% silver, in MS63 quality you&#039;re looking at about a $20 coin. But it&#039;s not a proof if it&#039;s a D mint, proof&#039;s were from the San Francisco mint, so it would need an S mint mark to be a proof. The other nice thing about 1970 D Kennedy&#039;s was there was a low mintage number compare to the other Silver Clad years (65-70, 1964 were 90% silver, 65-70 were 40% silver).</p><p><br /></p><p>The &#039;64 dimes, proofs were minted in Philadelphia, so if they have a Denver mint mark, they can&#039;t be proofs. Uncirculated MS quality dimes from &#039;64 likely are in higher demand so their value would be greater than proofs.</p><p><br /></p><p>My only advice is, pick up a Red Book to gain more knowledge about U.S. Coinage, it&#039;ll give you a general ball park figure for values depending on grades, mintage numbers and other information.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
