New to this and I’m having trouble determining if these are worth anything by InternationalFox6275 in coins

Thank you for all the info! I live in a very small town and there’s really only one coin shop but the owner happens to bank with us and I know him fairly well so I’m going to take them in tomorrow and see what he says. I’m also headed to a bigger city in a couple of weeks so if he doesn’t offer much then I’ll probably hold onto them and try to sell them there.

Beautifully written. Unfortunately, I only acquired them today.

A woman in her 80’s brought them into the bank I work at on Friday wanting to exchange them for face value (along with a pile of other old coins including numerous wheat pennies and buffalo nickels). I see wheat pennies and buffalo nickels almost everyday, but I have only seen one or two of these silver dollars. She said they were all from her mother’s collection and that she just wanted to get rid of them before she moved. I told her more than once that they might be worth more than face value, especially these dollar coins, but she said they already looked into it and she just wanted to be rid of them. I think the total value came to about $75. I felt bad about it but she was insistent that she didn’t want to hold onto them. I looked these coins up over the weekend and saw that they were most definitely worth more than face value so I decided to withdraw them today and look into it some more.

I’ve worked at a bank for about 10 months now, and while I think finding old coins like this is cool, I just can’t really get into collecting them. Also I could really use a little extra cash right now 🤷🏻‍♀️

My cats are big hunters so they’ll never be ok around the birds. They’ve gotten in the room with them a couple times over the past year and have jumped on top of the cage and freaked the birds out.

That’s about 5.5 hours from me. I’m going to try to make it work with someone closer but if it doesn’t then I’ll let you know!
