Hey All, Looking to find out what these coins are worth, if anything over spot price for silver.
Not sure on mint marks I know that makes a difference, but I just have a picture of them, not a actual coin to reference. In the office at the moment.

Halves:
1899 Barber Half
1904 barber half
1900 barber half
Quarters:
1906 barber
1899 Barber
1909 Barber
And also curious of the value of Proof Kennedy Half dollar coins.
Are they worth more then Face Value?
Thanks!

Barber coins are VERY grade dependent. A common date can be worth no more than melt in poor condition but worth $1K+ if uncirculated.

Take a 1906-D (quarter) for instance. It is a fairly common coin that you can generally get for melt in G-4 (books at ~$12 but most places just sell it for scrap) in AU-55 the value jumps to 175, in MS-63 $450, in MS-65 $1,500 in MS-67 $10,000!

Only after your coins are properly ID-ed and graded (as Generic Lad mentioned above) can anyone give you a fair estimate of value. Part of that ID process is to know the mint marks. For the Barber halves they will be either 'plain', "D" or "O". In the higher grades, the difference in mint marks can mean the difference of thousands of dollars.
If possible, I'll looking forward to seeing pics of both sides of each coin; in sufficient detail to discern the mint marks on each--if visible.

Now I want to know if it is a fair trade for me to trade a Silver quarter for each barber quarter.
Is it fair for me to trade 2 Silver washingtons for 1 Barber half. (twice since they're two)
And 1 rosie for each barber dime.
Now which should I keep, which should I send back, which should I say "Wow. I got lucky with that trade"
With the dimes, I don't know if you can see mintmarks. but
1909O
1908D
1908S
Let me know how I did and what they're worth.
Thanks!
