Or anyone who knows something coins?

I googled around but some of the prices I see are misleading.


I've found a stash of coins in my house and, while it's mostly those large 1 dollar and half-dollar coins, (about 40) there are a few very interesting ones, like an 1886 silver dollar (looks great), and a 1973 Eisenhower dollar that is just so shiny and after cleaning up, there is virtually no wear or scratches on it, like it just came out of the coin press machine.

There is also a half dollar (Kennedy 1964) that looks completely immaculate -no scratches no dings0- and just a lot shinier than the rest.

There are also two 1942 dimes, and there is one 5 cent coin with a buffalo on one side and a native indian on the other (looks very used) and there is also a 1934 half-dollar with a walking lady liberty.

my parents used to collect coins when i was younger
it might be a good idea to check with a coin dealer
as some of those coins can be worth more than you think
