Morgan silver dollar help!

tshiz21 · 12-03-2017, 05:08 PM

Hi all, going through some stuff I️ had I️ tucked away. Collect sports cards but got these from my grandfather years ago. Wondering anyone can help me out and let me know if any are worth say $50 or more? If they’re worth being graded or anything like that? I️ don’t know anything about coins besides searching eBay prior sales. Any help is greatly appreciated. Let me know if other pics help.

Have more stuff to go through too like half dollars and silver dollars from 1920s and up.

I see a couple decent coins in there and a couple of well worn dogs. I'd like to see some reverse shots of these for sure. The 1879 you have there appears to have some wagon wheeling to it still, so it's not a bad one.

A few of those, especially the 1888, are very worn. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Check for mintmarks,for errors, and for Van Allen-Mallis die varieties.

Yeah, the backs of the coins have the mintmark and that's 99% of determining rarity.

thanks all. I will take a look this week. Did see a lot of S and O for the mint marks on about 40% of them.
