My Dads Collection from his dad keeps getting better. Curious should I get this one appraised?   *** Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. *** |

I'll say AU-50 - definitely not worth grading.

I'll say AU. Surfaces looks dull. Not worth getting it graded.
Errers and Varietys.

Nice looking Morgan dollar, but I agree, not worth grading. In general, the estimated value should exceed $150.00 to compensate for grading, insurance, and shipping costs. |

Looks like it was harshly cleaned. AU details worth around $30.

Nice looking coin,but 1881-S is known for a lot of high grades. Your coin looks cleaned and maybe polished a bit? You didn't do that did you? John1  |

to the CCF This is a circulated coin that has been cleaned/polished. Its value is now tied to silver bullion with little to no numismatic premium. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.artEdited by nickelsearcher

the coin has been cleaned and polished. since it is a quite common coin it really has no collector value premium.
just for future reference, scrap the idea of slabbing coins. there is only 2 reasons to do that
1. its a rare coin that needs authenticated and preserved
2. the coins value is no less than $150-200 and you are planning on selling it
heres why
the cost of grading a coin will chew up most of the value of a coin. consider PCGS. their subscription fee is $69, add the grading fee. minimum $22 then add shipping and insurance both ways. you're into it for about $100. you can purchase a higher subscription which provides some grading vouchers to lower that cost but not by much.

Just to add to Panzaldi's comment, sometimes coins like Morgan dollars have VAMs that can add value to them even if they aren't that rare. I don't know of any VAMs for this coin though. But it has clearly been cleaned so I agree it's not worth grading. Edited by sickpuppy78501

This coin does not look that bad to me and I'm on the edge of cleaned and not cleaned.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. 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."

100% on cleaned. Still a nice AU sharpness.
