re: Silver Coins

Mostly Mercury and Roosevelt dimes, Washington Quarters and Franklin and Kennedy Half Dollars. Some other coins mix in as well. Some are in good to great shape but also have a number of bad ones. About 50% of the coins were rolled and those are in the best shape. The rest was loose in a bag. They where in a safe for years. The problem that I have is that I have no clue about conditions and the volume of the coins. What looks good to me is bad to an appraiser.
I have roughly:
285 half dollars, half of them rolled
1650 quarters, 3/4 of them rolled
2000 dime, 1/4 rolled
They were probably weren't touch in the safe for probably 25 years or so.

2000 dimes would be roughly 5k
1650 qtrs would be roughly 10k
285 Half Dollars would be 3.5k
This is melt value. Dimes and Qtrs typically are going to be worth more melted vs. collectibles.
If you do not need the money, I would put then back in the safe. If you need the cash...silver value is very high right now

The year on these coins if very important. Any coins pre 1967 (I think that's the year) are ~80% silver. After that point the amount of silver in the coin dropped dramatically.
