Serious question.

I have some coins that were inherited. Their value as collectables doesn't mean much to me so I am considering selling them.

Other than inflation what will determine if these coins appreciate in value?

Thanks in advance.

I did when I was a kid, haven't touched it in years, but I was serious about it back in the day.

Condition and rarity are the biggest factors.

I had a dozen silver dollars from 1900-1910. Gave them to my son 5 years ago. I encouraged him not to sell but to hand it down to grand son.

BTW, quarters minted in the 1960s are very valuable to professional golfers. On the PGA tour there is a superstition that you will shoot the year of your ball marker. So, if you mark your ball with a 1965 quarter you're gonna shoot a 65. If you use a brand new quarter you're gonna shoot a 114.
