My wife's grandfather is moving into assisted living in a couple weeks so the family is going through his stuff and he asked me to look at his coin collection. Of course I will! Now all I know about coins is what I've learned from metal detecting and doing research online. I told him that I would figure out how much everything is worth and put together a fair price and offer it to him. Here's the haul...
1879 Morgan dollar
4 peace dollars including a 1921!
14 Eisenhower dollars
3 Susan b Anthony dollars
8 franklin halves
5 walkers
50 Kennedy 90%
119 Kennedy 40%
101 Kennedy clad
3 silver quarters
A Rosie and a merc
26 wheaties
5 buffalo nickels
And saving my favorite for last.. An 1893 British half sovereign!!
I had never seen a gold coin in person before but I knew right away what it was!
Adding up the scrap silver and gold I came up with about $900. But I know that at least the Morgans, peace dollars, franklins and walkers carry a small collect value. If I value the Morgan at 30$ and the peace dollars at 20$ except the 1921 which is more like 85$. And I put the franklins averaging 16$ and the walkers at 7$ I come up with about 1,090$ for collector value. Do those numbers sound about right to you guys??
Thanks for looking!
