Anything interesting in there?
Anything worth grading?

What are your plans?
I don't see anything worth grading. There's decent value in that there's quite a bit of silver (and gold), but the vast majority of the value is based on the precious metal content. The coins that aren't gold/silver have little collector value.
Quite the stack of silver there! Lots of money just in melt. I don't see anything worth grading. The unopened mint rolls are quite interesting, I would personally keep them intact and sell them for a hefty premium.

The 1993 silver eagle would be worth 3k if it graded MS70 by PCGS. It's a tough grade to get for sure.
Lots of silver value but not much of numismatic value. Call around to local dealers to see what they are paying for US 90% silver coins and Morgan and Peace Dollars. If all of the Kennedy Halves are dated 1964 they are 90% silver. If they are dated from 1965 through 1970 they are 40% silver. The silver rounds will also bring good money for their silver content.
Here is a closer shot at the 1993
Will not grade 70

Sorry, but that is not even close to an MS70 even with the shots in plastic and poor quality shots, there are too many obvious field dings and for a 70 it would need to be perfect, don't even imagine that would grade at a level that would cover the cost.
Best to take the entire lot to a reputable dealer or two for offers, unless you want to spend a whole lot of time learning to sell on EBay.
i'm going to add:
1. any circulated 1921 morgan you have is silver value only. i see some peace in there, same for circulatted peace from 1922-24
2. in those rolls of half dollars i see a liberty bell, meaning they are < 1964 but also not all 1964 kennedy. they look like they are using older paper tubes, so perhaps they were separated from the new non-silver stuff. since some of the rolls look opened and they may not be all 90% silver, i'd go through every rolld and separate them into 90%, 40% and non-silver
3. buffalo silver rounds are very popular, but i suspect a dealer/buyer won't pay a premium on them
4. you have 2 american silver eagles next to the buffalo round in the photo. the 2002 sells for over 40 right now and silver is ~37. it's ~4.50ish over spot. they are official us mint silver bullion coins. don't take a sob story from a dealer/buyer about their excuse for low buy prices.
5. as mentioned already, a 70 grade on the 1993 would make it worth grading, but getting one is tough, that's why the high value. excellent pictures front and back would get you some grading guesses. also, 1993 is a "better date" A.S.E. and it's selling for over $50 even though it's 1oz of silver. don't take sob stories
6. there is a 1976 half with $1.50? written on it. it's really only 50 cents. the world is awash in circulated 1976 half dollars.
7. there is a 1971 dollar marked 6. it's worth $1
8. in another picture are morgan and peace dollars. in the upper left is an 1879-(?) morgan. someone (don't know who do i) harshly cleaned it. just because it's shiny doesn't mean itlooks good or is worth more. in its case it lowered the value.
9. the 1899 cent is maybe $2
The Half Dollar Rolls would interest buyers at auction, rolled or not.
The toned & crackly looking halfs, and any higher quality coins within are what draws the speculators in.
Scroll down, and there are some intact rolls that come up for auction occasionally...

In the large majority of cases, half dollar rolls don’t merit the expense of consigning to auction. The exceptions are scarcer dates and/or an exceptionally nice state of preservation.

Not quite sure.... On one hand, I would like to liquidate.... Just to be done with them and not have to store them anymore.... On the other, I think silver has a lot of room to run. So, may hold out a while.... Not sure.
the 1964 half dollars are worth about $13 each for silver value. if you like silver get a box and keep the under your bed. even the silver value only $1 are good for stacking. the cleanings will make the less desired and hurt their premium over silver value
1921 peace dollars are worth more than silver value. don't sell them that way
Any ideas about the gold piece? Packaging says 1/5 oz
Looks like a 20 franc French gold coin. Currently the melt value is about $615.
get pics of both sides
That '23 peace dollar had me taking a second look, they always look like 1928s.
You've got a lot of value in silver there for sure.
Nice silver stack
Quite a nice comprehensive breakdown. I am curious would the 1923 peace also have been cleaned? And is it just me, the pic, or did something tragic happen to the lower left obv edge by the Liberty 'L' on the 2003 ASE?
Check the condition and search for varieties on the uncirculated rolls of 64 Kennedys.

Here is the other side of the gold one:

hopefully someone replies. it's pretty much a desert over there in the world coin forum
It’s a bullion based coin, very common and graded UNCs which that one is not, only bring a small premium
11.5$ Southern Dollars, The little “Big Easy” set
It’s all metal value and just using basic head math without a proper count I see about 6,000 bucks

thanks!
I'm having trouble identifying that one....
I find a ton of them with that obverse, but haven't figured out what is going on with the other side.
is it 1817 G
Very common. A little over $600 in gold
I also have about 35 proof sets. From the early 70s to the early 2000s.
I wonder if those are worth taking to a coin show.
Unlikely.
Most modern proof sets have basically no collector value. Less than $5.
There are of course exceptions. Finding someone who is willing to look for the exceptions is another question, sorry
I appreciate the honest perspective.
I think they are pretty cool, but apparently, no one else does these days
.
I may just hang on to them.
If you want to get rid of it all try AZ coin buy list

I'd just list them here on the buy sell and trade.

if you like them kep them, but they do take space
one issue with them is supply. lots were bought and slowly people haved decreased purchases. that affects the supply to demand
does the mint make a difference?
They should all be Paris (A).
Found a couple more….
1971 Eisenhowers in boxes.
And an interesting, uncirculated 1880 carson city s….. in box-which was purchased from the govt in the early 70s….
do NOT !! take that Carson City coin out of the box. those are most valuable sill inside the box!
if ever you want it graded, places will grade it as-is and put a tamper-proof seal over the bottom of the holder.
do not open that box
i'm not an ike guy and can't comment on the 1971 ike dollar.
you have an excellent collector value in the carson city box. do you have the shipping box and papers that came with it?
they came from the "government services administration" (GSA) - people just use GSA for short - there was the Carson City mint wayback. you'll see the "CC" used when talking about them
here's the approx value of your score
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw="1880"+cc+gsa+-pamphlet+-no&_sacat=11116&_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&rt=nc&_odkw="1880"+cc+gsa&_osacat=11116&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1
I actually do have the shipping papers, couple of cards explaining the coin and its significance, and also the GSA stuff.... Also, a receipt..... $60 1970n ish was some smack....
you can see from ebay people sell the empty boxes and coa separately, but it's cool to have the whole thing and you likely will get a bit more for the coin set when it is time to sell
I have a TON of regular proof sets.... Any particularly valuable?
1970-2003
Also, a package of 1976 $2 bills... Just loose bills. 4 of them.
Also found 1971, 1972, 1974 Ike dollar proofs...
A few unopened rolls of Sacajaweas....
1973 first day cover bicentennial bronze.
American revolution bicentennial bronze in display case....
Any of this stuff worth talking to a coin show for offers?
Also a few 1971 Einsenhowers-uncir in envelopes
Ike proofs are $12 or so if Brown box, which they probably are. Sacs and $2 bills are going to be face value. Bicentennial bronze are likely $1.
you'd need someone who can look for high grade coins and that will take a bit of time. a dealer will probably offer you a few bucks each, then they go through them. might seem like a rip, but it's not. it's very hard to find a worthwhile coin to submit. a lot of it just becomes "leave it in there"
unless there is some major error, they are spending money
got a shot at 40% silver coins in there. i'm unfamiliar with the packaging differences. taking them out of the holders won't be much good for you. 40% silver are 20% copper clad to core of ~79% copper and ~21% silver. so for the most part both will look clad.
it is rare, but you can check the 1971 for they type 1 reverse: www.greysheet.com/prices/item/1971-s-silver-eisenhower-dollar-proof-deep-cameo-surfaces-type-1-reverse-fs-901/gsid/7939
all 1 date? bank wrapped or us mint wrapped? if they are a solid date then what date(s)?
i am unfamiliar with these
it'd be worth saving your time by looking up the medals and check the "sold" listings on ebay, and checking for the 1971 type 1 reverse and which ikes are 40% silver
