Hey all, new here. Found a 1948 silver dollar, among many other things, in an old coin collection I received. Wondering what your opinions are on it.

ummm...W.O.W..., about as rare as it gets... I agree with the value above, as for grade it's about AU-55, or AU-58... Beautiful coin, I haven't seen one of these in a good while...

This is one of my dream coins. Yours is in nice condition also.

Hi, Hubo,


To the best Forum on the Net...

Your pic of the reverse is somewhat blurry, can you show a close up of the date, the '8' looks funny.... probably just the pics.

hmmm

The nose tip seems really blunt in this image. I would expect it to be rounder and softer. Might just be the photo and how I am interpreting it.

Keep in mind there are known to be date variations.

I actually didn't find the date to be a problem really. It's the nose and lips that appear different to my eyes.

Can you post a close-up of the DEI of the obverse legend?
