Rare Coin I Found

[illusionist14]

This topic isn't really related to coin magic. It's about a coin I found, and couldn't find an answer for my question anywhere else.

As I was going to work, and was walking through the doors, I found a silver dollar from 1886, with the words E, pluribus, unum, does anyone know what it's worth?

I showed it to a few people, and they told me that a coin that old should be worth a lot.

That is a Morgan Silver Dollar. Named after the designer. An 1886 in Mint State 65 (that is the best you can get) will range about $100-$200 depending on where you go. This one is obviously not Mint, you could proboably expect anywhere from $30-$60 for this one.

Wow, thanks

This looks almost exactly like yours and it's only $28... sorry to disappoint you. http://www.tias.com/cgi-bin/google.fcgi/itemKey=3923285189

Where'd you find it?

By the way, E Pluribus Unum means "Many Out Of One" and is a motto found in the US Seal as well as on most of our currency. The motto of course reflects the unity of the states and the countries which we immigrated from.

LOL, that actually decreases the value by at least 80%.

I've found many of these in the low 20s at antique stores, though I'm not sure any were as old as yours. I have on of my own from 1898 I believe, and it is hands down my favorite coin. If you are considering selling it, I recommend you try some coin magic with it first. At least to me they feel perfect for the job.

Quite a nice find, I hope you enjoy whatever you decide to do with it.

Peace

Yep.
Keep it for magic, there's a cool story behind it, and you'll feel special using it

I have an 1882 Morgan Dollar, in mint condition it would be worth about $40,000. However it's not quite mint, but it's in really good condition. An authorized dealer offered $700 for it, so that tells you that it's at least worth 5 times that. Not bad! I really like the morgan dollar, but there is another silver dollar from the early 1900's that is REALLY cool.

If you can get that much, sell it, then get a nice dean's set from Jamie Schoolcraft

Hold on to the coin for a few years and see if the price goes up. Nice find! The oldest coin I've found is from only 1932
