Ok cool let me know when you find out. Maybe I can trade you these magical silver coins for your couch!Originally posted by Cheeka
I looked online - but its not there (in the couch section anyway).
I can't remember the name of it but there is only a few in there and it isn't one of them.
I have the Ikea catalogue at home- I'll look it up
it depends greatly on the year. pre '67 (like swenard said) were minted with real silver and are worth more ($5 - $500) depending on the year and condition.
post '67 probably not worth much more than $2 - $5 each.
if i were you i would just hold on to them. they will be worth more in the future. selling them for rent or beer or crack money would be something of a travesty. maybe you should think to the future and pass them down to your kids or grandkids if you ever have them.
there are coin guides out there that you can buy or borrow from the library, keep in mind that at best they provide an estimate of the value of a coin based on it's rarity and the demand for it. this can ossicilate by huge amounts from year to year. also, most guides only give a value for coins that are in mint or near mint condition. (i.e. kept in a case or protector from the minute they came off the press - if they've been bouncing around in a shoebox for 10 years, they will not be worth as much) i collected coins as a kid and was working from a coin guide that was about 8 years old. unfortunately, when i bought a new guide i noticed that the value of most coins had dropped 50% because coin collecting isn't as popular as it once was.
hope that helps,

Rosey : thanks for the help. Yeah they are all in those little black boxes with a little insert talking about the picture that is on the coin for that year. I'm also assuming that the value in those guidebooks is just a number and that a coin store say would only give you about half of whatever number might be in there?
the little black boxes, do they have a sorta felty inside? because that would mean that the coins are 'proofs' meaning they were double minted for extra sharp lines and are worth more.

D'oh
I did the same thing in college
I kept some, but I remeber some of the ones I lost....
1985 Mark McGwire rookie...pre70 homers...it was worth 75 bucks or so when I dumped it, and last I checked it was around 500.
Kept all my Griffey Jr ones, but he sux now.
Dude I would highly recommend keeping the coins like Ross suggested, your kids will appreciate it, and you can tell em old gramps gave em to ya, he/she will love, it, and you'll get alot more then temporary money, a lifetime of memories!
