Some Advice Please

[benjoshua-migration]

My mom e-mails me about some coins her mother(my grandmother) has. My mom says: "My mom has 8 silver dollars and several Kennedy half dollars. About 4 of the silver dollars are dated 1776-1976 marking America's 200th anniversary." I told my mom that much of their value depends on their condition and to not attempt to clean them.

 

Any additional advice I should give her? '

 

Suppose she wants to sell them, what's the best way to go?

 

Assuming these coins are not mint, what are they probably worth?

 

Please do not PM me with your answers. Thanks!

I typically see on E-Bay the 1776/1976 silver dollars selling for about $1.25 in bulk lots in common circulated grades ( typically 50 - 100 or more coin lots ) . Selling coins isn`t my forte and maybe E-bay is a possibility.

The bicentennial dollars aren't really silver. They may be silver clad. Those and the Kennedys aren't worth much of a premium unless they're in pristine condition. As for the other dollars the condition, dates and mintmarks would help establish value. You had good advice on not cleaning anything.

I assume (maybe incorrectly) from your post that these coins were pulled out of circulation? However, if they are from Mint Sets, clad silver or proof in high grades, they could be worth much more.
