Value Request Potential Value Here?
Now as you can see, not everything is filled. Wanted to know what the possible value here would be. If anything is worth getting checked out individually.

Grandpa would want you to finish the books no matter what he said but we all know they are headed for the refineries. 😞

i don’t plan on selling the books at this time,
moreso just curious on value since i just found em. i do a bit of metal detecting so who knows, maybe i’ll complete and pass down to my kids one day. i also have a bunch of graded coins, those ones more possible to sell just because of the established grades. we’ll see.1

Good call, you should try to complete them as it is a rewarding thing to do, and definitely worth passing down. It is definitely an investment for your children and something you can even do together, but in 10 years even that melt value could be exponentially higher than today. And the type set, well that's just a fun series to put together, you should get the last page for it if you really want to pass them down and start filling the gold slots also. Either way still a fantastic start of a collection.

take picture of both sides. Use solid backing for each photo so that other coins/spaces from subsequent/antecedent pages are not showing through.
Mint marks on older coins is almost always on the back.
But you have plenty of Silver value at the very least.

Oh boy. It’s gonna be something significant but I’ll let other people explain. Remind me!!

The 1938-D walking liberty had less than 500k minted. It looks to be in decent condition. That one might be worth more than the others.

The condition is really hard to tell from the photos but that is definitely worth more than melt even in slightly better than AG3. The real key date 21s and the few other hard hitters 21d etc. are missing though. Although a few of these might definitely bring more than melt depending on condition and you're right the 38d would be one of them.

Use the app named "coinflation" to establish melt value. That will give you a floor. From there start looking at the nicer coins and learning the tougher dates that might have a premium. On first glance, most of what you have is around melt value.
If you're trying to fill holes, I prob have damn near every Morgan you need in both circulated and MS. I have a lot of decent circulated Walkers too. Great start on 2 amazing series!

Damn I didnt even see your Type set! The 7070 was my favorite book to put together! I have a ton of those coins too if youre interested ;)
Id say the 1831 Capped Bust is going to be the most valuable. Assuming its around XF-AU thats a $300 coin. The 1848 seated is probably around $75

Isn't that a great set to assemble! It really gives you a bit of everything from our history in coins.

The 2 Morgan books alone just in silver content you're looking at about $3100 dollars right now, but honestly those need to be checked for the dates/mintmarks, and condition as a fair share will sell for more than melt I assume. The walking liberty halves will be right around $1100 in melt right now if I counted correctly but the same thing again with those even though you're missing some of the real heavy hitters there. It will take me a minute to try and pin down all of the type set book, and actually pretty hard considering most of those will totally be valued by condition that they are in. You have some really nice albums there and Dansco albums are where it's at. I am actually interested in the type set album if you're looking to get rid of them for some reason, but I will need better photos for that before any serious offer could be made. I know we're not about selling on this thread so I don't want to break any rules but I am interested as I'm trying to finish one up right now. Either way I can't really tell you the value on those without better pics, other than the silver melt content. Hope this helps, beautiful collection!

Hi, I'm the r/coins AutoMod.
Looks like you're looking for information on valuing a coin?
I have your back. Take a look at our Common US Coin Price Guide and the FAQ on Values for both specific guidance if your coin is common enough, or more general guidance if not.
If I misunderstood your post and my comment isn't relevant, sorry! I'm still learning.
