Storage unit clear out -found coins

I took these to a coin shop along with some others. These are the ones they wanted to buy from me. I didn’t sell them obviously but I just wanted the community’s opinion/knowledge about these particular coins. Thank you!!!

    Wow, you won't get the usual...a picture would help in this situation :D
    Nice haul but nothing exceptional with the hoard :o
    Check for key date coins... separate the silver.
    Welcome to coin collecting.
    If not a collector, list them in the classified section.

    $3+ face in 90% silver, a Morgan, and some odds and ends.

    A fair offer might be a bit over $100, but probably not much over.

    Some local dealers will pay 4c for wheat cents. Buffalo nickels 60c if not damaged and full date. Do your own research on ebay.

    you have more?

    don't post pics

    it's just that some of that is spending money. the 1971-(?) lincoln cent is just worth 1 cent. i'm surprised they'd want it and am wondering what they turned down if they took that.

    If they offer $100 or more, take it.

    Most of these are in the "average circ" and cull bucket.
    Enjoy collecting, but right now all you really have is an accumulation.
    -Why didn't you want to sell these to the coin shop?

    Once you get a little more accustomed to coin collecting I might suggest you sell all of these and purchase one or two neat coins that you enjoy.

    I suggest you keep all of the silver unless you need the cash to pay bills.🤑🤑🤑🤑

    Nothing in that lot is very valuable.

    The '02-O dime is better. Most of the rest is apparently nothing but there could be varieties.

    Most of the value is in the silver content. Call around and see what dealers are paying for 90% silver coins. Pull out the 1902-O dime as it is worth more than bullion value. If the offer you receive seems any way reasonable take it and be done with the lot. Don't waste a lot of time or money trying to get every last dime out of this lot ... it isn't worth the effort.

    Maybe $100.

    I don't think it's worth selling separately. It'll take more time and probably net less if you have to ship it.

  • MsMorrisineMsMorrisine Posts: 35,830 ✭✭✭✭✭

    what's the offer for the lot?

    The 1908-S IHC has some value, maybe $50 retail.

    I don't see an S on the 1908; looks like a Philadelphia.

  • Old_CollectorOld_Collector Posts: 357 ✭✭✭✭

    Yeah, my bad, at a quick glance looked like an S. :s

    Lots of ho hum stuff here. Dealers all over are going to be pretty close in what they'll pay for material like this. You say they wanted to buy. So, why didn't you sell to them?

    The 1876 dime is from Carson City which makes it a little better, but the damage will hold back its value

    It is a badly damaged cull of a common date Carson City coin. The likelihood of a dealer being willing to pay any premium for a coin like that is close to zero.

    Does picture 35 and 36 represent the entire accumulation or just the ones the shop wanted to purchase?

  • rec78rec78 Posts: 5,865 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Take the offer and RUN!!

    He probably didn't sell because the dealer's offer was a tiny fraction of his wish price.

    The only coin I would be interested in buying is the 1902-O dime. Unless there's something wrong with it (like being bent) that isn't showing up in the pictures.

    Agree 100$ would be a strong offer worth taking, there is some value but it mostly junk

    Sounds like that 1902-O dime is whispering to you...
