Coin pros
I was cleaning out my safe and came across these coins. I think most of the non American coins are just leftover from a family trip.

Is any of the American currency worth more than face value.


I have this George Washington coin that I have no idea where I got it. It’s not currency and it’s in terrible condition but I was wondering if by small chance anyone would know where it’s from. Is it just from one of those trinket shops you see on vacation or something.

The Kennedy half is 90% silver so melt value is a little over 9 bucks. Can't see it clear enough to see any mint marks for any numismatic value.

The George Washington is a replica of a Scovill commemorative “coin” from the early 20th century. There’s a ton of yours on eBay for $5-20, not much value.

There were some 1972 silver dollars that were 40% silver as well
and I believe the Bicentenials also had some silver ones struck in proof form
