rlabana New Member Canada 2 Posts	Posted 07/07/2011 07:25 am First off, I want to say this seems like a very helpful community (reason why I registered :P) Recently I obtained a Silver Doller when packing at my dad's house. I thought I would see how much it sells for since it looked rather old. I did some research and found out its a 1888 Morgan S Dollar. I'm not sure if its real or counterfeit, which I'm hoping someone here can determine. Also, I was reading about coin grading, I understand certain grades will correspond with a certain price range. If you could also grade my coin, given if its real or not, a link to how coin grading works would be great too. Thanks in advance :) Edited by rlabana 07/07/2011 07:35 am Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 07/07/2011 09:32 am Nice coin I am going to say XF details, cleaned. This is a fairly scarce date so even in that condition it is worth $100 or so at auction. Looks genuine to me. Report this Post to the Staff

Las_Vegas_Larry Pillar of the Community United States 817 Posts	Posted 07/07/2011 4:32 pm The lettering looks a little different on the obverse. The dot above the 1 in the date does not seem correct. I'm not sure it is genuine. For grading check out https://www.pcgs.com/photograde Report this Post to the Staff

greghansen Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 07/09/2011 06:36 am Can't tell much about authenticity without having coin in hand. Nothing in image suggests its not authentic. It is harshly cleaned, however, with XF type details. It's a better date, but the cleaning will limit its value. Report this Post to the Staff
