Answer:

The collection is worth $37,525.78.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Your coin collection contains 59 1952 silver dollars.

Interest rate= 6.6%

Number of years= 2053 - 1952= 101 years

To calculate the value of the collection today, we need to use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 59*(1.066^101)

FV= $37,525.78
