I would like a general thought on this 1923S peace dollarvalue based on . I would like to sell this and ones that are in the same shape (I have a camera that is not capable of taking pic. better than this). 2 1922D, 1 1927D, 1 1927D. Where would I go to get these graded? I live close to Dallas, T X
I recommend PCGS or NGC for grading. However, this coin has a lot of marks on the obverse side, including a distracting hit on Liberty's cheek. Looks XF-AU, and I wouldn't spend the money it will cost for submitting it. Looks like it may have been cleaned, and the die crack from the R to the rim past the Y in LIBERTY on the obverse wouldn't help with value much.
A short history of coins. Has been in a safe and in(those cards made for coins?) for 50yrs. According to my Mother-in-law, 2 years before she died, she told my husband where the safe was, but father-in-law, forgot the combination number that his mother provided when she gave the safe to them in 1944. I just find it hard to believe that they never tried to open it (they were never in need of money is my thought). We hired a safe 'cracker' and got it opened. Has many coins 1800's thru 1920's, sad to say they do not have the value as you stated, with which I agree with....my husband thinks they are worth millions but his heart is in it.
Depends on the membership you sign up for. You pay a submission fee, or get up to 5 submissions with your membership, plus you have to insure the coin(s) and pay shipping both ways.
Let me clarify something here. I did not state any opinion on value of the only coin you posted a pic of. With the wear to it and all, my opinion on value would be from melt value, because this coin contains .77344 ounces of pure silver and has a melt value of $24.44 as of the close of the market yesterday, to maybe slightly more than melt, as much as $4 over melt. As far as your husband's thought on the worth millions, well many people who find old things and think they're worth tons of money. In reality; however, the items worth and value will depend on several factors, including but not limited too, rarity(how many were produced), original condition(not altered or restored), and the current condition(good, excellent, fair, or left to be desired). While there some coins that can realize a 7 figure value at auction, they are usually of extreme rarity, and condition is better than would be expected for the age. I would tend to think that you wouldn't have anything like that in your in-laws safe. Best advice I can give you is take then entire collection to a local and reputable dealer in your area, or even a coin show near you, and have a couple of dealers look over the entire collection and give you their opinion on grades, rarities, and value. Good luck.
Thank you for your reply and am in full agreement with you. We would all be millionairs for every unusual coin that is out there.
