When you call him "Dad" it is capatilized. When you call him "my dad" it is not capatilized. Same goes for your mom.

I was always taught to capitalize people's names that you respect, etc.

Negative, I don't give a shit about my cousins. Don't even know most of them.

Probably the same as my epic baseball card collection with every rookie from 1984-1992 that I thought would one day be a down payment on a house for me. I would be lucky to get a tank of gas out of them.

I am fairly certain coins > pieces of cardboard that are baseball cards as far as value goes.

But I know what you're sayin, I was big into baseball cards when I was a kid. I even had my own baseball card business sending Scott Rolens. First business I ever had. I was about 13-14 years old. One of my customers spent over $20,000 buying Scott Rolens from me. I made a hella lotta cash for a young kid.

That is what I thought because I have tons of others but for some reason the list I have only has 1973 and older. My Mom had a guy check them out and I am going off the list he gave her. All the other half dollars didn't make the list so figured they had to be special or worth more.

Those 1971, 2, 3 half dollars are worth a half dollar

The 1964 are worth 12ish bucks
The 65-69s are worth like 5 bucks


Buffalo nickels aren't worth much unless they're in mint condition. Even then they're not worth much.

Check out the montages at the bottom. If you see a small mintage for a coin you owe, it may be worth a little more than the others

Damn, so I have around just under $800 worth of Half Dollars then I suppose. Are they worth selling now or just hang on to them? Will value go down?

Nah, they are my Moms. She just wanted to know value, if they were worth thousands then she'd probably consider it. But probably just hang on to them. Problem is, I am one of three sons she has so really kind of hard to hand them down to us and split them up.

Why would the non silver half dollars appreciate?

Couldn't you do like a snake draft or something?

no 1964 was the end of full silver but for the Kennedy half they remained 40% silver until 1970

Actually this is a fail. A Buffalo nickel from 1917 in circulated condition MIGHT fetcha dollar. A baseball card from 1917 in similar shape is minimum of $10 - $20. That's a broad generalization but as someone who deals in both I know whereof I speak.

remember this is driven by spot value for circulated coins, NOT coin collector value. So decide what you think silver is going to do and act accordingly. At $35 an OZ I'm selling like a madman.
