Supernina86 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/27/2014 01:53 am Hello, Long story short- I have an 1888 Morgan silver dollar and I don't know much... We'll... ANYTHING really about coins, values, or selling coins. The major questions: If I can make some money off of this coin, how much could I get for it? Do I need to do anything special to the coin, have it appraised (if so by whom/ how), or should I just hold on to it and wait for the value to go up before researching about how to sell it? I am uploading pictures of the coin and would appreciate any and all feedback about how to proceed at this point. Thank you :) -Nina Report this Post to the Staff

Wow I got pretty distracted browsing through this site and posted forums similar to my current situation. Still really don't know much about mint, grade, and typical pricing. I look forward to learning more tomorrow, sweet dreams coin community :) -Nina Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 07/27/2014 09:58 am First off, welcome. I agree that it's a "common" Morgan, and your photos, although blurry, indicate that it's not at the epex of the condition scale - eye appeal is lacking, but you shouldn't try to fix that, either, you'll only reduce its value further. I concur that it's a $25 to $30 (retail) coin at best, with a dealer likely to offer you just its value as bullion ($15-16 currently). Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
