I have over 100 dimes that date from 1964 and earlier and like 25 1964 and earlier dimes and 8 half dollars 1964. Tons of old wheat pennies and old nickels. I don't know anything about them and I am tired of storing them at the bank. Does anyone know where is the best place to sell them. Like I said I don't know anything about them so I don't want someone that will rip me off. Thanks.

Hi. I am a coin dealer in the Midwest. "taiping" is totally off base. 1964 is the last year that dimes, quarters, and halves were made of 90% silver. The CORRECT answer is that the current value of the silver coins you have, based on the current market, is about 8x their face value. According to what you've said, you have a total of roughly $16.50 in face value in silver coins; at 8x it would be worth around $132.00. The 1914 note is an earlier Federal Reserve Note; its exact value will range from a low of $40 or so for a well-used note up to perhaps $200 for an Uncirculated, crispy example. The value of the other coins you have (cents, nickels) would depend on date and condition; any reputable dealer or advanced collector could tell you what you have, or you could pick up a copy of the latest "Bluebook" (Handbook of US Coins), available at any coin shop or bookstore, and research them yourself.
To sell your items, you can go to a local coin dealer, or perhaps offer them for sale on Ebay if you are so inclined. Research the values first, though.
Hope this info helped.

Watch the newspaper for any coin shows in your area. Look in the yellow pages for coin dealers. Offer the coins to several different dealers. Right now silver is at $12 an ounce, so 1964 and earlier US silver coins should be worth about 8.6 times face value at spot, but of course a dealer will pay less and charge more than that. If you can't get any offers over 7 times face value for the dimes and half dollars locally, click on my avatar and email me. If the dimes are the older Mercury design, they will be worth a little more, but not much more unless they are from the teens and twenties and not badly worn. Give me an idea of the dates of the wheat pennies. For common dates from the late 1930s to 1958 I'd probably only pay about 2.5 cents apiece, but again the older ones will be worth more. The nickels are probably only worth 5 cents apiece if they are Jefferson nickels. Those minted during WWII with a large letter over the building will be worth at least 25 cents and those from 1938, 1939, and 1950 with a small mint mark (D or S) beside the building may be worth $1 to $5. The Federal Reserve Note will have some value unless it is in really bad shape. I don't have any references with me to look it up, but if you email me about the coins, I'll find a value for it, too.

If they are all Roosevelt dimes and have been circulated, they are worth what the silver value is. In order to sell as silver value you need thousands of them, 100's are not enough for anyone to deal with-not profitable. In order to be worth collector value, they must be at least be grade almost uncirculated and only a few are worth a few bucks. A 1949-S retails for $6.25 in the above grade and you would get 40% or more less. In 1964 the minted 933,310,762 dimes at the Philadelphia mint and 1,357,517,180 at the Denver mint. That is a lot of dimes. The 1964 halves have a mintage P- 277,254,766 and D- 156,205,446 that is a lot of coins also. In high grade you might get a $1.00 or so each for the halves. If circulated silver value only. As for the cents and nickels, most dealers may not be interested for it takes to long to go through them. There chances of finding a real rare coin, is not very high. Best bet get a Red Book- A guide to U.S. Coins $7.00 or so soft cover and check the coins out yourself. Sorry to say you have an accumulation of coins that have little value. You have too many for a dealer to want to fool with. An ad in the local paper may get a person starting out, to make you an offer.

Put them on ebay, and sell it to the person who is willing to pay the most. Maybe if you have a website that does auctions, you could put them on that. Good luck!
