I bought a roll of Kennedy halfs for spending purposes only. What I ended

what to do with them.

I know I could use them at face value, but I also know they are 40%
silver...meaning (from what I've read the value of silver alone is close
to $3 each. I assume unless I'm a coin dealer...there's no way I could
even fetch close to that amount. I'm not a coin collector, and I'm not one
to be selling coins via Ebay.

So what do I do with them? How much could I expect to get by selling them
to a retail coin dealer? Would a retail coin dealer even buy them? The
condition of them are not anywhere near mint, or even uncirculated. In
fact they are kind grungy; and I have no idea if that means anything if
someone is buying them just for the silver content alone.


Thanks,

Barney - I suggest two things:

1. Go back to wherever you bought this and buy a few more :-)

2. Throw the silver ones on eBay as a lot and see what happens. There are buyers who accumulate coins like this simply for the melt value, as an investment.

Good luck!
