Coin and Paper Money Collecting/old colns

Question
Hello, I have a Eisenhower Bicennteinal silver dollar dated 1776-1976 with the liberty bell in front of the moon on the reverse side in excellent condition with no mint mark.  I also have a 1945 walking liberty half dollar with the bald eagle on the reverse side. No mint mark.  Can you tell me how much each on is worth?

Answer
Etta,

The dollar is common -- they minted them for 2 years so there were a lot of them made -- no added value.

The half dollar is considered a common date by collectors.  However, it is made from silver, so it has a current silver value of about $6.00

I hope this helps,

Dan

Expertise

My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.

Experience

I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
