Silver coins by face value
U.S. dimes, quarters and half dollars dated 1964 and earlier are 90% silver. Every dollar of face value in worn coins holds about 0.715 troy ounces of silver, so a pile of mixed coins can be priced by adding up what they say on them. Enter that total on the price list above to see what we would pay.
Kennedy halves from 1965 to 1970 are 40% silver, and the wartime nickels of 1942 to 1945 with a large mintmark above Monticello are 35% silver. Each is priced per coin.
Albums, folders and whole collections
Bring collections as they are: albums, folders, rolls, proof sets and mixed boxes. You don't need to sort anything first. We go through it with you and write every item on its own line. For a large collection, call first so we can set time aside, and see selling an estate or inherited collection.
Please don't clean, polish or take coins out of their holders. Collectors pay for original surfaces.
Questions about selling coins
Which silver coins do you buy?
Morgan and Peace dollars; dimes, quarters and half dollars dated 1964 and earlier; 40% silver Kennedy halves from 1965 to 1970; 35% silver war nickels from 1942 to 1945; silver Eisenhower dollars; and American Silver Eagles.
I have a jar of old dimes and quarters. Do I need to count them?
No. Bring them as they are and we count and test them in front of you. If you want an estimate first, add up the face value (ten dimes are $1.00) and enter it on the price list.
Are some of my coins worth more than their silver?
Some can be: key dates, scarce mintmarks and coins in better condition are worth more to a collector. Bring them as they are, in their holders or albums, and we look at each one.
Should I clean my coins first?
No. Cleaning scratches a coin’s surface and can lower what it is worth. Bring coins exactly as you found them.
