silver dollar?

Question

I found an 1882 silver dollar in excellent cond. in the sands of a wash in the Az. desert and it has no mint mark. I did find out that means it was minted in Philadelphia but how can I find out how much it is worth? The prices of these coins are so different.

Answer 1

First of all not all coin dealers are crooks. They need to make a profit to stay in business and feed their family. You knowing something about the coin you have, helps keep them honest, a dealer usually need to make a least 40%. Now a coin found in a wash can not be very high grade and must have some damage to it. It may be shinny, but that is from water or sand damage. It may have a lot of tiny scratches due to weathering. With a mintage of 11,100,000 it is not a scarce coin. Most of the time, I can give the person some of the things to look for, that makes a coin a certain grade, but in your case it won't work, due to circumstances of you finding the coin, I would really have to see it. Anyway as a guesstimating of value, it could be from 7 to 8 times face value for the silver in it to, around $16 if it can reach a grade of extra fine. Values are about what a dealer would pay. It is actually worth more than money, as a really neat find. To bad it could not talk, for it must have an adventure to tell.

specific all of them in advantageous condition. The silver arowana will in no way be waiting to devour the tinfoil barb or silver dollar. The silver dolar is rapid adequate and is merely too flat to swallow. The tin foil barb, at 14 inches, would be approximately 0.5 the size of a finished grown silver arowana. save a minimum of five silver money and a minimum of 6 tinfoil barbs as they're the two shoaling and coaching fish. save the water on the acidic edge, approximately 6 Ph. save a sandy substrate and a few rocks. be certain the rocks are not coral or alkalic as they'll dissolve interior the acidic water and bring up the Ph. The sand is by technique of the fact barbs have barbels and could scour the backside of the tank at night for nutrition. do not save plant life because of fact the silver dollar will devour all of them. supply a lot of caves once you beautify the rocks. some lavatory timber with some anubias transforming into on them or java fern will additionally do advantageous. The silver money are unlikely to devour the anubias or java fern as they're bitter. Get a youthful silver arowana (approximately 5 inches long) and merely approximately finished grown silver money and tin foil barbs. in case you want, you could save approximately 5 sailfin brochis (emerald corydoras) because of fact the arowana is a floor eater and could be unable to devour the backside dwellers. although this could be risky. Get a tank it is approximately 4 hundred-500 gallons. in case you like it, get an asian arowana as they're extra colourful and tend to stay smaller or a black arowana as they're extra like minded with tank pals then different arowanas yet are extra or less a similar length because of fact the silver arowana. you additionally can get some great catfish like a iridescent shark in case you have a tank this is a minimum of four hundred gallons.

Answer 6

As a friendly suggestion to you, "never" take your coins to a coin shop they will "ROB" you blind. I have several coins as I'm a collector myself and I suggest you auction it on ebay. (If your looking to sell) You will always find someone who will give you top dollar. Also you can purchase a collectors guide and that guide will illustrate the worth of your coin to you. Good luck!!
