My father gave me a box full of old coins. There are Silver Dollars, 1/2 dollars, quarter, dimes, nickels and pennies. Dates as far back as the 1800's. I need someone that can help me go through these coins and help me get a better understanding of the value. Please let me know if you or someone you know would be able to help me.

There’s a coin show in grapevine about once a month, that would also give you a good feel for the going rates. Next option, CR coin shop in NRH. I’ve bought and sold a lot from him. Honest guy, take your stuff there and he will make you a fair offer

The vast majority of coins aren’t worth much more than their melt value. That is what their silver content is worth. Some coins do have a numismatic value that is much higher but it takes a lot of time to sort and check them.

A website you could use to find bullion value and to see if there is any remarkable numismatic value that I use often is https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?ct=coin In the fields scroll to the country, then find the coin in the next field and click on it. Some people create a login account and use that website to enter and catalog their entire collections/hoards. And there are other similar websites like ngccoin.com. Ebay prices are partly used in determining value, so some may be slightly inflated over real world values and sometimes I think they are off on the low side too due to a low frequency of sells used to determine value, but it will give you an idea if you have any rare dates. I sometimes buy coin collections because I sell them through my antique business, but I never pay more than bullion or melt value. Usually less and regardless of numismatic value. You probably have a morgan or two in that box. So for an example. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1492.html

What is most important is the grade of the coin(s). The higher the grade, the higher the value.
coffee spelled backwards is eeffoc. I don't give eeffoc until I have my morning coffee.
