<p>[QUOTE=&quot;acanthite, post: 172325, member: 6647&quot;]Depending on how many silver dollars and half dollars there are, $100 in face value could be a lot of coins. Enough to spring for a Official Red Book Guide to US Coins, which would give you a rough idea of the value and a basic sense of how to determine grade. This book also shows you where the mink marks are located, which is critical to value in some cases.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You can lessen your work with the following broad assumptions:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Any silver Roosevelt dime, or Franklin and Kennedy half dollar, unless it is in exceptional condition, will not be worth a great deal (but several times face value nontheless).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Any Jefferson nickel, unless it is in exceptional condition or a 1950-D, will not be worth very much. Silver wartime nickels are worth a bit more than the rest.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are valuable dates and mink marks in all other series, those will be apparent from the book mentioned above or any other coin price list you may get out of a coin magazine or from price guides on line.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m not counting, of course, valuable errors and varieties in any series that are remote possibilities.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
