Anyone collect them or buy & sell? I've found a variety of websites with a variety of values for the same coin. I have some random stuff in a box that I have little need for anymore and was wondering how much any of it was worth. I seem to have a Morgan dollar among other half and whole dollar coins.

I have collected some coins over the years.
Could we come to an agreement on price if you are willing to sell?
The lowest price you should get for your coins if you sell is the 'Melt value' of the silver.

If you have rare and good quality coins you should get more for the coins.

I collected when I was younger - there are plenty of books for coin valuations. I used to check these whenever I was buying something.

check eBay to see what similar ones at similar quality sell for. Pick up a "redbook" from Amazon. It's like the NADA of coins. and yes, do no polish them.
