Group of silver I may purchase, would like advice

[newmansr45]

My friend came to me with a couple coins his uncle had since he found out I'm interested in old coins and he prefers "real paper money" lol. Great friends for a while so I would like to be fair. He said he would take silver weight cause that's what they were offered....
Pictures are not great and the local coin dealer has not been visited.... yet
Fake?
Price?
Your thoughts?

This is a useful tool for basic silver value in coins - numismatic value may vary.

20-22 dollars a piece for the Morgans and Peace dollars would be fair to your friend. If that's a 40 percent Eisenhower, I'd go silver weight on that and the half dollars - $6-$7 dollars each.

The trade dollar has significantly more value as a numismatic piece than silver. I can't tell you what to do with that.

I give these number to you since the two of you are friends and I doubt you want to try to get a steal off him/lowball him.

You would need to have the trade dollar authenticated, most are faked, other than that you have good advice so far.

That's my main worry. I looked up all the tips for detecting fakes, to me all is seeming good but I'll leave the final decision to the experts. Thanks for the input aluminum monster, sounded good to us, done deal. Except the trade dollar

If all he wants is scrap value, then pay the man and consider yourself lucky.

Even if the trade dollar turns out to be counterfeit, you only lost, what, $13? You made that up on the rest of the buy.
