<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Charles Ruge, post: 8266471, member: 113049&quot;]A friend of mine’s father passed away last month, and he wanted me to look at a box of coins his father had.&nbsp; There was a wide variety of coins in the box and ranged from cents to silver dollars. The first thing I came across was three half dimes.&nbsp; I had never seen a half dime in person, so I thought this might be a nice mix of coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The three half dimes were: 1854 Arrows, 1856 O, and an 1860.&nbsp; All three had fully readable liberty on them and would rate a F to VF. That put them in the $20-$30 range each.</p><p><br /></p><p>The rest of the box had three Morgan Dollars; 1883 S cull, 1885 O VG, and an 1890 O VG. Three Peace Dollars; Two 1922 Ps F and VF, and a 1923 P in F. One Barber half dollar 1907 P in fine, and a 1912 Barber Quarter in VG. There was also a 1925 Stone Mountain Commemorative half in EF condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>The rest of the coins were in rolls and included silver half dollars, Roosevelt dimes, mercury dimes and Indian head cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don’t know how he stored them, but they were all a grayish color with no luster whatsoever.&nbsp; The melt values of the silver were $1400.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I bought the three half dimes for $60, and had a good time looking through the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1458560[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1458561[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1458562[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1458563[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1458564[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1458565[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
