    Hi there, just started collecting, especially silver dollars, but know absolutely nothing about coins. I pulled out some of my Morgan silver dollars from 1885-1901 and followed along with you. Unfortunately, mostly Philadelphia, SF & New Orleans. No Carsons so far, but have more more stashed away, hope to find something really rare, but mainly just having fun listening and learning from you. Many thanks

    I had a few of these (two uncirculated 1883's) back in the 1970's. When silver prices skyrocketed in 1980 my brother took them and sold them to put gas in his car! I just started buying a few to remind me of a time when America meant something.

    In all of my years of metal detecting I have never found a silver dollar or a single gold coin! I've found many silver dimes and quarters, and maybe a couple half dollars. I'm convinced that people just never lost silver dollars very often and children probably never played with them because that was a lot of money back in those days.

    I don't have any of the rare or more valuable ones, but I do have the 1878-P (8 tail feathers), 1889-O and 1921-D. Those cost me enough, the rarer ones cost a lot more to own. Three examples is enough for me. The way I look at it is I have the original design, the regular design and the last re-created design dates.

    I collect coins. Overall, my favorites are the Walking Liberty Halves, Winged Liberty, (Mercury Dime), and the Silver Eagle, designs by Adolph Weinman. That being said, my favorite coin I have is a 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar w Beautiful Toning on the Reverse. I bought it for $25 from a coin shop. The Numismatist at the shop said it would grade AU. I sent it to PGCS and they graded it AU58. I have many coins that are worth far more, yet that is my favorite coin!

    I've got a bunch of these I inherited. The best looking one I found was a 1887 S. It's in very good condition still. Very very light signs of wear, but it so shiney and doesn't seem to have changed color like all the other ones I i have.

    • @bigc716
      @bigc716 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Dante Guerra i would be skeptical about that really shiny one. These coins are all over 100 years old and unless it's in a capsule It would seem like someone tried to clean it. Cleaning a coin will Destroy its value and most likely you'll have to sell it at melt value. of course it might not be but if you take it to a shop that's the first thing thats going to catch their eye.

    • @FG-lq4pz
      @FG-lq4pz 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      cj Miller hi there! Thanks for the response. I'm fairly niave when it come to coins. The Morgan's I have are not in a hard plastic protector, rather that cardboard and plastic deal (don't know what that is called). I've always known about these coins, but the box I undeartherd the other day has not seen the light of day since probably 1955. I was planning on selling the higher ticket ones, but I also plan on keeping the majority of them because I've recently started started stacking silver... Any advice as to how to get them gradded/appraised? I'm hesitant to take them to the local guy in town because the Google reviews all say he's quite the fraudster.

    • @bigc716
      @bigc716 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Dante Guerra I'm pretty muxh a beginner myself bud. I'd suggest checking online to see if you have any rare dates. If you do find some valuable ones you can send them in to PCGS of NGC to get them professionally graded. Not sure how much that costs though. But good luck bud. I wish you the best.

    Very informative. What is toning, and can you clean discolored coins without damaging them? Thanks

    • @ModernMiner4
      @ModernMiner4  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Toning is what you'd consider "tarnish" on other silver items. It happens when silver comes in close proximity to sulfur. It can be very nice and colorful, or dark and ugly, or anywhere in between. If pretty enough, it can significantly increase the value of a coin. No, I would not recommend cleaning coins. That should be left to professionals.

  • @jameskerry3826
    @jameskerry3826 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    One comment on rarity: the mintage number can be an initial clue...but it's important to never use that as a factor in your conclusions on (rarity/value). Why? Because, in addition to mintage...other factors can easily overwhelm the mintage number, in determining value/absolute rarity. How so? Two biggies (for affecting rarity, way beyond mintage): What percentage of the coins were released (by the mint) in the year they were minted? They may have held onto them for decades, before release...meaning even a low mintage could have low value, as many examples may exist. Another: How many were melted down? Huge...as there were three MAJOR silver melts (affecting Morgans) in the last 100 years or so: The Pittman Act of 1918, WW11, and the silver price spike of 1980. These all resulted in Morgans being melted. Here's a shocking example: the Morgan, 1886 (O). Over 10.7 MILLION WERE MINTED! So you'd think it's just a common date...BUT NO; IT'S ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE MORGANS OUT THERE, AS EVEN A(REALLY UGLY, BEAT UP, BAG-MARKED MS 60 EXAMPLE, WILL FETCH AROUND $700 TO 900 usd. And one that is MS 65...will be worth over $100,000. So...obviously, all or nearly all were released in the 1880's late, and likely most were melted down...as you just don't see many. Thanks for the video.

    • @ModernMiner4
      @ModernMiner4  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      They easily could be considered cull, if the damage is bad enough. Dates that are more desirable, but not necessarily the rarest out there, can lose a lot of value. If the coin is rare enough, the damage will most certainly hurt the value, but it can still demand a premium. It really depends on the date and what buyers are looking for. But if the coin has considerable damage, it does put them in a lower spot as far as quality and desirability.

    • @ModernMiner4
      @ModernMiner4  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      There are always risks involved in coin grading. The coin may not receive the grade you're looking for, it could be marked as cleaned, damaged, etc., or sometimes it may not even be real. Especially if you're grading for resale, you're never guaranteed to get the grade/attribute that will be profitable. It must be carefully calculated, and you must decide if it's worth risking the money.

      What you have is a rotated die. It's not very common with Morgan dollars. But if it's only 5 degrees, it's not very exciting. Still, cool to see!

      I would not recommend it unless you know exactly how to do it. Cleaning coins can devalue them significantly. Otherwise, I'm not sure the proper method for cleaning if there is one.

    I see you have some with holes in them. My local coin shop has one for sale for 32$ is it worth it? It looks kind of dark like it went through some chemical reaction. But I just bought my first Morgan dollar today, 1897 in a great condition. They had it marked xf. So I’m just here doing some more research on them. But I just had that question, if the ones with a hole in them are worth buying.
