Tell Sackett SASS 18436 Posted December 1 Posted December 1 I’ve spent a lot of time inventorying my coins and trying to find out their value. Unfortunately I’ve come to the conclusion that most are only worth their silver value. To a dealer anyway. They’re not gonna offer near enough, IMO. I’ve seen coins offered here, so I thought I’d give it a try. Might be a coin collector on here looking for a better buy than from a dealer. Please forgive me if I get names wrong $1 coins: 10 Morgan, 4 peace Half dollars: 1 Franklin, 1 Liberty walking, 9 Kennedy. Plus 6 silver clad Kennedies Quarters: 321 Washington, 8 Liberty walking Dimes: 380 Roosevelt, 65 Mercury nickels: 37 buffalo, 18 silver war nickels pennies: 9 steel war pennies, 9 Indian head( very low grade) and a BUNCH of Lincoln wheat pennies. Ive only gone through the Washington quarters so far, and only found 3 that were worth more than just silver. Dimes next, then nickels, & pennies. Spot silver is over $50 an ounce currently. Melt values seem to vary depending on whose opinion it is. Lows of $36 to $38 maybe. Up into the low 40s. I’m asking 40 times face for the average silver coins. The more valuable will be priced accordingly. Only 3 so far, and they aren’t significantly more. Still have a lot to go through, but maybe this will pique someone’s interest 1 Quote
Rip Snorter Posted December 1 Posted December 1 Really useful for condition, if not price (which is as bad as guns) The Official Red Book A Guide Book of United States Coins My copy is 14 years old, so not useful at all on price. I sold off most of mine back when the book was new. It was helpful. Quote

Ethan Cord Posted December 2 Posted December 2 I really like this website for information on silver and gold melt values as related to US coins (and some others): https://www.coinflation.com/silver_coin_values.html Quote
