Dockwalliper Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 You can use this site as a guide for your coins. It also has a link for mintage numbers and gradeing. http://www.bestcoin.com/us-morgan-dollars-two.htm But remember...Its only a guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amy_2281 Posted January 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 thanx i need all the help i can get i wish i wasnt in such a secluded area i have about decided im going to hafta make a trip to the city for appraisal. i think they are pretty high grade but am still unsure i figure if nothing else this find has gotten me into a new hobbie i did try a scan i dont think it is near as good as the pics in my gallery and they arent even close to as bright as the real thing so i guess i'll keep at it.

Dockwalliper Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 It is most likley that you have some nice (EF+) common date Morgan Dollars that will likely price out in the $15 to $20 dollar range. A dealer, if he wanted the coins, would offer about 1/2 of the guide price. I would suggest you get yourself a "Red Book" and start reading.

Tiffibunny Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 The 1900 looks good, but those other 2 are well circulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burks Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 or maybe even your local public library. What he said. Check out a Red Book (current if possible) and if they have any grading books, grab one as well. Highly doubtful they will have the Morgan encyclopedia but if they do, grab it!
