Many - but by no means all - pre-1965 (not pre-'63) silver coins are worth much more as collectibles than as bullion. You have to know the coins' dates, mint marks, and conditions to make any determination of their collector value. You can find price guides at many locations; one good one is www.Numismedia.com

Pre-1965 silver half dollars, which contain 90% silver, typically have a base value determined by their silver content, which fluctuates with market prices. As of late 2023, the silver value alone is around $7 to $9 per coin, depending on the current silver market. However, numismatic value can increase the worth for certain coins based on rarity and condition, potentially making them worth more to collectors. Always check current silver prices and consult a coin dealer for precise evaluations.
US dimes, quarters, and half dollars dated 1964 and earlier are made of 90% silver and 10% copper. The same ratio is in dollar coins dated 1935 and earlier. For coins dated 1965 and later, the only ones to contain any silver are half dollars dated 1965 to 1969. They're 40% silver. Any other date or denomination is either cupronickel or brass ($1 coins only, in brass).
Silver coins minted before 1965 contained 90% silver with 10% copper. The coins' weights are as follows. Dime: 2.5 grams Quarter: 6.25 grams Half dollar: 12.5 grams Dollar: 26.73 grams To get the weight of just the silver, multiply those weights by 0.90.
US quarter dollars issued through 1964 were 90% silver. Quarters issued from 1965 onward (except for some proof coins made for collectors) contain no silver.
Pre-1965 dimes, made of 90% silver, have intrinsic value primarily based on their silver content. As of October 2023, the value of these dimes typically fluctuates with the current market price of silver, which is approximately $25-$30 per ounce. Therefore, each pre-1965 dime generally holds a value of about $1.50 to $2.00, depending on the exact silver price. Additionally, collectors may assign premium values based on rarity or condition.
It would be worth about $21,500 or so. Of course, that is just the silver melt value and it depends on silver spot. Similarly, rare coins in there might sell for more than just bullion value. Of course, rare coins are rare to find in bags sold by face value, but it is always possible that something may have slipped past the coin dealer's eye.
