Question Coin collection/Silver Certificates

So, I've got a little collection going (basically stuff my great grandma gave me over the years) of coins and dollar bills. There's a few random quarters in there (from then 1930s on up), few Sacajawea (?) dollar coins, and a few two dollar bills. What I'm most interested in are two big dollar coins from 1976 I'm guessing, a golden dollar coin from 1900, and two one dollar silver certificates. Anybody have any idea what they are worth?

The Dollar coins from 1976 are worth $1.00 because they are not collectors really. For them to be collectible, they would need to be un-circulated, and still they would only be worth like $5.00 max.

The Silver Certificates go for between $3.00 and $15.00 unless you find someone born in one of the years your's were made, and they might give you more because they are collecting them for personal reasons.

The 1900 dollar coin looks fairly rough. I would guess by the fuzzy picture that it's what would be around an MS-57 or so. That could bring you anywhere from $10.00 to $40.00 depending again on the collector. If it were to be real gold, then you would get about 10X that or more.

If you're getting rid of them, do eBay. Local dealers will rip you.

If you're keeping them, put them some place safe and forget them. They will be worth more to future generations of your family then they will be to the numistmatists.
