anyone know about old coins?

Question

I have some old coins as in really old still made out of silver..... and i was looking to sell them because i really need the money.... does anyone know how much they go for or anywhere where i can sell them here in queens NY?HELP!

theres a couple of half dollars ranging from 1770's to the 1980's and quarters at around the same years

Answer 1

Quarters dated 1965 and later contain no silver.
Half dolars dated 1965 - 1970 are 40% silver. All dates after that contain no silver, and it is unlikely that they are worth more than face value.
It is best to check eBay and see what specific date US coins are selling for there.
