I have silver dollars from 1884, 1887, 1902, and 1922. What is the value of each of them per coin?

Question

I only have one of each coin.

Answer 1

Without seeing pictures it's very difficult for anyone to give you a good answer. Many factors play in to how much your coins are worth (i.e. condition, scarcity, mint marks, current market demand, etc.)

1 - Take your coin to a local coin dealer (trustworthy ones can be found - shop around). It never hurts to get a second opinion. They will be able to tell you so much more by evaluation the condition of the coins. They will also know the amount minted and what it is going for in today's market.

2 - Try posting pictures on this website (there are many experts here that can help you evaluate it - there also may be people willing to buy if you are trying to sell):

3 - Repost this question and include pictures. You can use websites like http://www.photobucket.com and include the link in your question.

Good luck!

P.S. You should not clean your coins. Most coin collectors see cleaning a coin as the equivalent of stripping down antique furniture and refinishing it.

When cleaning, the surface metal of the coin is often stripped. Anything used to scrub the coin will leave scratches (even 100% pure silk will leave hairline scratches). Most cleaning products will have some type of reaction with the coin's metal and the surface metal can also be removed in this manner.

Your best bet is to leave the coins alone. Cleaning the coin will leave traces - which can be found by the knowledgeable collector - who in turn will not buy the cleaned coin. Also if you ever wanted to send your coin into a grading company, they can recognize signs of cleaning and will send your coin back in a "cleaned" slab (also called a "body bag" in the coin world) - which is usually a greatly decreased value.

If you absolutely must must must clean your coins do not use the method described above as it will react with the metal in your coin. Use 100% acetone (do not use fingernail polish remover!). It must be 100% pure because other additives will react with the coin metal. Place your coin(s) in the solution for several minutes (do not leave in for long periods of time). Rinse your coin(s) in distilled water. Next remove your coins and either pat dry with a soft cloth or allow the coin to air dry (air drying is better as you don't risk scratching the coin with the cloth). NEVER scrub your coins!

I would still advise you to leave your coins as they are. They may not be bright and shiny but that is what most collectors prefer.

You did not mention if they have mint marks. The 1884-1902 Morgan dollars have it on the eagle side near the bottom below the wreath if there is one. The 1922 Peace dollar has it on the eagle side below the word one. The 1884 is valued at $13.50 to $16.75 in circulated grades. the 1887 is the same, there is an 1887 with 7 over a six which is worth more. The 1902 is $14.50 to $17 from grade very good up to grade almost uncirculated. The 1922 is $10.50 to $12.50 no matter what the mint mark is if any. values are about what a dealer would pay.

Value depends on condition as well as the mint they were made at. See a professional collector.
