Hi everyone I found these silver coins among several others today. It was from my fathers old collection that he gave to me awhile back. These were the most rare according to the mintage per year. I did not, however, take condition into consideration, as I do not collect coins, and know nothing about that. Going clockwise in the first picture I have:
"Liberty Standing Half Dollar 1929 D (i think!!!)
Liberty Standing Half Dollar 1946 S
Mercury Dime 1937 S
Benjamin Franklin Half Dollar 1953
Barber Quarter 1914 D"
Enjoy the Holiday!!!

god bless the fathers and grandfathers that left us their treasurers -- my grandfather would bring me a bright shinny silver dollar from vegas every time he came to visit -- still have them -- even more special as the years go by and the memories flood back

epson233, very true. Thanks for the story! mustangtony...I never realized , I guess to have a coin with a collectible value it has to be in GREAT condition. Thanks everyone for the loves.
Coin values are based on demand from collectors. Your dime and halves are fairly common and easily found in much better condition. Collectors always want the best condition. Due to the silver price values now, the silver value has now exceeded the numismatic value. The Barber Quarter is an earlier date and the condition is good enough whereas a not so serious collector or new collector would add this as a filler type coin.
interesting, thanks for the info mustangtony, and for looking at all my posts recently. Have a great week!
The good old days when money had intrinsic value and could stand on it's own.
I love coins! But ya all u really got is sum shelf sitters or also known as scrap lol there still nice to have tho, i keep all junk silver aha
