Everything you listed. Even the Nazi coins are worth a few buck on ebay.
Pick up a coins mag or something to check the dates on the Morgans and half dimes. |

It all sounds good to me.

Live free or die.
Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

| There are lots of confederate currency reproductions out there since it is not illegal to print them. I hope his is not one of them. The gold note has a better chance of being real. |

What to keep an eye out for:
Half Dimes- all kinds,
Key Dates to keep an eye out for-
Any dated 1805 or earlier, 1846, 1848, 1849-O, 1853, 1863,
1863-S ,1866, 1868,
Morgans- Any that you can get for melt price or a few dollars over,
Key Dates/mints to keep an eye out for-
1878, 1886-S, 1888-S, 1893-O, 1893-S, 1894, 1894-S, 1895-O,
1895-S, 1899, 1901, 1902-S, 1903, 1903-O, 1903-S
Any Morgan from the Carson City Mint. (Marked CC)
Also look for any Morgans with errors (double dies, double obverse, double reverse, etc.)
While finding the key date coins is a rare occurance, you never know where these coins might turn up. |
I change with the times-
but like silver coins found in your change
I stay the same.

Welcome to the forum.
If you can post a list of what exactly you have, or post pictures.
Most times its not going to be worth grading the coins, unless they are in excelent shape, or they are very rare dates.
Let us know a better list of what you have so that we cna better assist you |

I got some confederate currency one time. I googled the S/N# on the bill and came up with an ebay warning article about fake confederate money. Give that a try it worked for me.
