Question On My Morgan And Peace Dollars

!

Date, grade and variety can play a part in whether or not there is a numismatic premium on your coins. I would suggest posting the dates of each of the coins and the members that specialize in those coins can let you know what to look for. Or you can post pictures (front and back) of each of them for opinions. This should give you a general idea of the best way to dispose of them if that is what you are looking to do. Pictures will be the fastest way to get answers to your questions.

Maybe if you change from accumulator to collector, and post clear photos of your coins here, your coins will be worth more then what you were offered.

When you have enough posts to sell your coins here, without a doubt you will do better then selling them at a coin shop or some fly-by-night scamers that work out of Hotels twice a year.

Please do, but if that proves difficult, at least list dates and mint marks. We could then possibly give you some hints as to what to look for in an added-value variety.

I'll see what I can do on the pictures. Of course I'll have to study up on how to do the pictures. Then there is my bare bones basic photo equipment. I had tried to take close ups of other things this week and some came out and some didn't. If I'm not able to get any good shots I'll list what I've got, but I hope the photos will come out.

One other question though. In my internet research I found where someone said not to polish your old coins. Is that true? Some have a fair amount of tarnish naturally.

Thanks,

Bryan

Use whichever forum relates to the mintage date of the coin(s) in question - Modern US coins, Classic US coins, or whichever World forum relates to the country of origin. It's OK (indeed, preferred) to ask about multiple types in a single thread, and you'll find gold specialists in each forum.

As well as people like me who know next to nothing, yet stayed at a Holiday Inn Express recently.

Check the date closely on the 1928 Peace dollar. I've had a few 1923's that look like 1928's and there is a huge difference. The 1928 is the key date in the series with a significant premium. Post a picture when you can.

Thanks guys,

I was out Sunday and forgot to check in yesterday. I'll check them out and work on the pictures today. I'll have to dig them out of my safe keeping.

I knew from my preliminary research that the 1928 had some value, and I believe the date is plain as day and in good condition. I had made a list and keep it by the computer. That's what I used to give y'all what I have.

In my first research I used the pictures on one site and I graded it as Fine comparing it to their pictures. I'll also look at the 1921s.

I knew I was dealing with crooks at the local shops I visited with no intention of doing business with them. I figured what happened would and did.

One guy was busy and I just browsed around. I thought it was funny that he had all these coins in display cases I assumed to sell, and not a single price. He didn't have a museum sign anywhere.

Y'all correct me if I'm wrong. Silver meltdown value may go up and down with the market right, but the collector value wouldn't it kind of already be established? He had all the coins in the white cardboard protectors and not a price on anything. Not even a code like merchants used years ago, on top anyway.

I figured right off the bat he didn't want to tell people like me what I had with his display. Then I had them separated in little snack baggies and he started pulling them out and just quoted me the meltdown price, which I knew better and thanked him and thought good by crook.

I thought I had something in the 1928 and this guy just sloughed it off like just another dollar.

What about that 1899? Two sites indicated it might be worth more than melt down. Of course they had conflicting values. One might have been in left field and the other in right field. I need to be in centerfield and catch the final out in the bottom of the 9th.

Thanks,

Bryan
