[QUOTE="Mr. Flute, post: 3221007, member: 33154"]Then you should lock in the value now and sell to get the cash. If you only need part of the money, maybe sell in increments (xx% now, xx% in a month, xx% in 3 months, etc). This could give you some education about the market for physical silver, if you care. I'm a long time coin collector and love having small piles of silver coins to 'play' with, but if I inherited such a pile, I'd keep a couple nicer coins that fit my collection, sell to enhance my current collection and/or sell to generate cash for savings or household capital improvements. Good luck on your decision making. EDIT: As for the specific coins you showed in this thread here is some advice: [LIST] [*]Buffalo nickels - have no silver, but if full dates and decent condition, but common dates, you might get 50 cents each [*]Silver (wartime) Jefferson nickels - low silver content and a three metal alloy (very undesirable silver coins) - right now if you can get 40 cents each, don't argue. [*]90% silver Quarters, Dimes and Halves - try to get at least ~$10 per $1 of face value [*]1965-1970 Kennedy halves - only 40% silver and try to get ~$2 each [*]Morgan and Peace dollars - you should and easily can get more than silver content - Nice mid-grade (like the ones you have) should get you at least $15-17 each (as opposed to the silver value of $11.40 each) [/LIST][/QUOTE]
