There are at least six different 1879 silver dollars. For starters, what is the mint mark or is it 'blank' in that area? Plain is the most common; the rarest is "CC".
There is nothing special about the '53 Franklin other than it's 90% silver.
The '26 dime (also 90% silver) is a keeper if the mint mark is "S".

I thank you all my friend had to sell them and she just didn't want to be ripped off. The bump was indecipherable looked at under a 10X loupe worn into just a bump.
