Am I allowed to get an estimate of what one should sell for?

I'd guess $18-19 at today's prices.

Even common "stacker" Morgans are going for $25-$30 on ebay. Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D. Brandeis |

Something like this ought to be in a dealers commons & culls bin. They all have them. 1882 isn't a premium year and its well worn with damage. It's value is roughly pegged to having most of an ounce of silver + a couple bucks premium for its numismaticity. Many retailers are going to ask around $25-30 as silver hangs around $22/oz. As a buyer, a dealer may offer $17-20.

My guestimate was what a dealer would pay, not what it might be listed for on stupid ebay. What's it worth? What a dealer will pay. Simple.  Edited by Coinfrog

@collects82, if you bought it, you'd have 69 1882's :P

A coin is worth what the highest marginal bidder is willing to pay. That marginal buyer is a dealer as often as silver provides the best investment return on your money. That's as close to never as you're gonna get.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

My dad used to say, "the value of anything is what you can sell it for the same day you bought it". I think there's a name for that. It's called a "fire-sale" or liquidation value. It's what you get when you're desperate to sell. If you aren't desperate to sell there are often better options. Try that at a car dealer. The $60,000 car you just bought is now a $40,000 car at resale back to the dealer that same day.
