Izlude Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I've got some silver half dollars and dollars (US Coins) some might be considered junk silver, but some might be worth something more. Will be selling'em online, maybe on ebay or other.. I also have a Lincoln penny in a cardboard sleeve (pre-rated at $115). Google search results show "free appraisal" sites that eventually want you to pay... ugh... Anyone know of a reliable coin appraisal site that's actually free? (as in someone checks out coins for a hobby). Is it even viable to take photos and have someone online check them out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torolol Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 the rate ultimately depend on how many actually possess similar coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izlude Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Ok here's an imageshack link to the coins. They're tempting to use at face value, just like pocket change... but just in case, I'll have'em checked. See what you make of them. https://imageshack.com/a/9bPq/1 You should be able to DL them and zoom if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hum Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I would auction them off on e-Bay to the highest bidders. People seem to like to pay more than book values. http://coins.ha.com/ref/beginners-price-guide.zx?type=google_silver%20coin%20valuation_nid-s-cid-33905832245-mt-b-device-c-ap-1t4-dm-&gclid=CO24u9zX2bwCFURnOgodYX4AXg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voidpharoh Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 First three coins can potentially be worth some money. Probably not a lot, but definitely more than their face value. The Kennedy half dollars and Eisenhower dollars I'm not certain what they could bring. Edit: Hum has a decent reccomendation, selling them ungraded on ebay is a quicker less-hassle way to get rid of them and possibly get a good price out of it all. It'd save you the hassle & cost of getting them appraised or professionally graded, and sometimes coin collectors on ebay get plain stupid paying way more than what some coins are actually worth.

Buttus Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 just for the silver alone they're worth far more than just the face value! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Method Man Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The 1944 Half dollar is worth about $17 The 1901-S Half dollar is worth about $55 The 1964 Kennedy Half dollars are worth about $9 each The 1922 Silver dollar is worth about $35 The post-1964 Kennedy half dollars and the Eisenhower dollars are worth about their face value, the Eisenhower dollars maybe $2 each. I came up with these doing a quick estimation of their condition and looking up their value in the 2014 Guide Book of United States Coins (Red Book) which is a listing of the retail value of the coins (what you would expect to pay for them if buying from a dealer.)

Shiranui Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I am having dinner tonight with the Duke of Buckleigh, do you know him? He's a great expert, you know, Sotheby's and all that. Now if you like, I could take them with me, ask him to have a quick look at 'em, and find their current value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izlude Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi folks, thanks for the input. That's definitely something to think about. I'm skipping out on shops/dealers because they definitely don't want to pay more than 80% of the value (profits for resale) so I know collectors would better be interested. So my options are to sell them as 1 lot, ungraded and let the people bid... or Sell them for suggested value by Lord Method Man or Let Shiranui show the pictures to the Duke :) Shiranui 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
