Default Any COIN COLLECTOR?

My cousin bought an old house and we found these coins in the house that he bought. Does anyone know if these coins are worth anymore than their original value? Thank you in advance

1879 One Dollar



1923 One Dollar



1923 Half Dollar



1966 Half Dollar

No matter what their always going to be worth the face value, unless money becomes nothing of value.

The old old ones might be worth something.

Spend the Kennedy half dollar.

I don't know about the other half dollar since I've never seen it before.

The 1896 silver dollar you can probably get $15 or so apiece the 1926 silver dollar only about $8-$10.

I don't know what the "books" will say about value, but I've recently sold some of those and thats all the dealers will pay you.

For the Obama coin or the OP's coins?

You'd have to pay me much more than $3 to take the Obama coin off your hands.

Take the $3 and throw it away if you dont want it. Seems like a win/win to me
