Haha yea I dont know why they felt the need to do it for the dollars. If they really felt it necessary to indicate that they should have just put Silver on the label

 

So, without photos, we are assuming the label says "S" but that stands for Silver, not the mint mark. Therefore we believe it is not the elusive S mint coin?
Would be nice to see photos Jim.

 

Yea, its a 30kish coin otherwise. Hard to imagine someone that isnt insanely rich not remembering where it came from.

 

Just a question, does anybody here actually use RedBook as a quality guide to the value of coins. My mentor always referred to it as the "Sellers Dream Book" and if you could sell the coin for the Red Book price SELL IT.
Semper FPhil

 

No. It's valuable in the sense of seeing where the jumps in price are or what the more expensive dates are, but the prices themselves are pretty worthless. By the time the books published the prices are already old and out of date for the commonly sold things

 

I hope you folks won't be mad at me. As it turns out, when I showed my wife the coin, she told me that I looked at it wrong. It turns out that the top part of the 1 was next to the back of the slab. It is an 1881 - S, NGC MS63 worth about $90 from the Red Book. I am embarrassed and mad at myself for such a blunder. I do have a set called "The Wild West Collection" with an 1882CC, 1883CC and an 1884CC, graded by NGC MS65. Any idea what that might be worth? - Not that I am selling it.

 

I use my Red Book (I buy one each year) and also my Coin World magazine, however, if there is a disparity, I go to someone smarter tham I am, which there are many.

 

Hey no problem on the mix-up, too bad it had to be a common date....on the CC dollars, I don't think I've seen that set, sounds like a marketing package from some seller ( in which case there probably is no added value ) or are they in some sort of 3 in 1 NGC slab?

 

Yeah. I bought a couple of gold coins from a vendor that was advertising in Coin World. I spent about $5K with them. The coins I got were Liberty Head $20 coins. I was a newbee and wasn't quite sure what I was doing, but they threw in my Wild West Collection. All three are NGC MS65. I've had them for about 8 years. I looked in the Red Book and the three coins added up to about $1K. I know that CC coins are sought by some people. I got a lot of them from my father. I've got one that is tone and right pretty. I can't remember which one it is. I think i'll look it up and see what you guys think about it.

 

If you need a safe deposit box let me know, I have one you can use. You are one lucky man! Now, let us see it okay.

 

I knew it, as in MS 63, NGC has only slabbed 49 1884s MS 63 coins. If you had one, you would have known it. 1881s is a common date Morgan, and plentiful in MS 63.

 

Thanks to all for your words of wisdom and forgiveness.

My bad. I was looking at the 1883-S, not the 1884-S.

 

The 1883-S coin is still a very nice coin to have. Not worth as much as the 1884-S but valuable.

 

Oh well....easy come, easy go.

 

39.380.00 on numismedia for date and grade you specified, nice find!!..jumps to near a million at ms-68

 

Attractive gold dollar!
