silver coins

[fishdaddy]

not found metal detecting.and what is the value of them.i wont sell them just curious

The silver dollars have a bullion value of about $30 each. I think the average numismatic value of a walking half (please correct me if I'm wrong) is about $10. Kennedys are far cheaper, even the silver ones.
Dimes and quarters have low bullion value, but before 1932 they can get pricey. The Ike dollar is worth a dollar.

Look up the dates and mint marks online and make sure one isn't a key date! Could be worth more than the silver value alone

A site called coinflation.com lists melt prices for US and Canadian coins:
Current Melt Value Of Coins - How Much Is Your Coin Worth?

Just check for rare dates & mintmarks. Every time metal prices go up, untold numbers of rarities get destroyed.

i was thinking of melting them and making a silver bar is that legal.and thanks for the link

also does a 1966 quarter have any silver in it?

You can melt silver coins. Don't melt copper Lincolns though. Can you post the dates of your coins? No silver in a 1966 quarter. You can give coins a silver check by checking the edge (the third side). If you see copper it's not silver.

You're probably better off selling these coins then buying a bar with the money than melting these into a bar.

For starters might not be a bad idea to stick with JM or engelhard to name a few. There are others of course

 

[TripletDad]

Melt them yourself and you have no way of proving what the silver content is. Testing's right - if you want bars, buy them ready-made.
