    For bullion, just fine. But it's not the exact number someone is likely to offer you. There needs to be some profit in there for the buyer.

    The red book is not accurate for bullion prices as the values within the book are from months ago. Contact a few coin shops in your area in order to see what they are paying for 90% silver.

    Remember that it is guide and not the end all. Some coins are worth many times what is posted there. Others are worth less. In time you will need to figure that out.

    The value for these coins in my humble opinion is less than $10 as they have no premium or Numismatic value as they are not rare, mostly low grade not really in collectible condition. Most collectors would use these coins to fill holes in their collection until they can afford something better.

    "coin inflation" or coinflation.com will give you the bullion value of a silver coin. Don't expect to get that from a dealer, 90% plus or minus would be more likely.

    The Red Book is a so called retail price list for US coins. The prices are only updated once a year and are out of date by the time the book hits the bookstore but they are excellent for determining relative rarity. For example, your 1898 Barber quarter is a common date and not worth more than melt in that condition. On the other hand if it were a 1901-S (the rarest of all Barber quarters) in that condition it could be worth a few thousand dollars.

    I hope this helps.

    Your coins are not of numismatic value... the silver content will get you more than face value. Cheers, RickO

    The red book will give you some info on coins but as for prices it's not good. You should look them up on line they change all the time, now for all of what you posted most can be found in 90% boxes not worth more then 90% silver they need to be in higher grades to pull good or better $$$ out of them. When looking up prices don't always go with the highest because most of the time it's the lower one you will get, All of your coins look like 90% silver to me but worth more then face value.

    Now why don't you try to do this go out and get some nicer stuff at a lower price and you will do good. Like this I paid 90% silver prices for this but rec a bonus they are the Type"B" rev but I still only paid silver, melt, spot, 90% for them but they are worth more then just spot silver. It's how you buy that will make you $$$ and keep you in good coins. Let say you sell the coins you posted and get 90% silver price for them now take that money and buy some nice 90% silver coins like I posted even if it did not have the Type"B" they will be nice coins in your collection, Just me dumb Type2 thinking.

    You’re quite a guy. Great educational informant. For you to take the time to explain this should get you a great deal of respect. I hope it’s noted. Yes, I’m serious.
    But at the same time i think it might be falling on deaf ears. Of course this is just my opinion.

    I agree. We may be able to educate each other while trying to educate the ones that may or may not really want to be. Might as well turn it into something positive.
