dawg, don't listen to that mans advice^dont melt them, people serious about coinage/Ag will pay big bucks for them. Imagine having a whole coat lined with them. im sure anyone in the C/H/R'ing forum, will give you AT least melt value for them.

They are only worth the silver content.

I LOVE them. I was at a pawn shop the other day and he had a broach/pin that had three formed coins on it. It was really cool bc it had older coins and it was also fashionable. I like the look of vintage things.

Check out etsy - it is a craft website. Kind of like eBay buy it now, but for crafty people.

Here is one example - http://www.etsy.com/listing/118297228/walking-liberty-silver-half-dollar

He didn't say to melt them. He said they were worth melt. Which they are. Someone may pay more than that but you'd have to find that someone.
