What is my 1880 morgan dollar worth?

Are you able to safely remove the bezel? We need to see if there is damage to the rim. I call it "Death by Bezel". Most times the coin is damaged.

 

Yes, just as soon as I get home.
I'm not sure if it matters, but I dont believe it was worn very much. Just put away in a box from what I understand.

 

The coin is now circulated in my opinion. Is this coin sentimental by chance? If so, I would think it over first. Here is average value for an AU50 coin..... 1880 Morgan Silver Dollar Normal Date Coin Value Prices, Photos & Info

 

Thank you!

 

If you remove the coin from the bezel it will show signs of damage. This lowers the coins value to around $25.00.

Thanks. I was going to say $35. Oh well.

 

Melt value about $25.00. If the bezel is sterling, a bit more.

Hi Hillary..... I cannot tell, but what is just under the ribbon under the eagle on the reverse? Just above the D and O in "Dollar".... Am I seeing a "CC" there? What the fellows are telling you is that a coin placed in a bezel will forever have damage from the bezel. See, we coin nerds are a picky lot and we notice little things like that... So, if it is a common Morgan it will always be tied to silver value because it is now damaged goods to a coin collector..... However, if that is a "CC" that I think I see under the ribbon that may change the game just a little bit. If that "CC" is there, it represents being minted at Carson City Nevada and that makes your coin a bit rarer and consequently a bit more valuable.

 

I see an "O" there next to the "damage" area. See it? Or do we need a closer Pic?
