I also got... 2 - 1921 Morgan's(One S Mark) 4 - 1922 Peace Dollar's(One S Mark) 1 - 1923 Peace Dollar 1 - 1934 Peace Dollar(S Mark) 1 - 1935 Peace Dollar 1 - 1942 Walking Liberty 1 - 1943 Walking Liberty (S Mark) I got all these essentially for free, since some guy bought food at my store with them. So, any of those worth anything? Most of those are in better condition than the 1904. I'm not a big coin collector, so I'm happy if I make any profit on these.
how could someone spend that! yea, they are not "rare", but anyone could tell or at least have an idea they are worth more then face. wouldn't stopping at a coin shop, and selling them for silver content, be ten-fifteen times better? thats a lot more grocery's! could you get pictures of the the 34-S peace dollar? there is a big jump in price from F-XF, fine examples sell for around $30 and extra fine ones sell for around $130. and in MS the money is crazy!
Yeah, spending $200-$300 (didn't actually look up individual coin values) worth of coins to buy $10 worth of groceries, has me wondering what the heck? Either he's starving and didn't want to wait to get what they're worth, or something else? Stolen?
A lot of wear and marks on both sides of that one. Letters are worn almost smooth in spots. I'll say G - VG, about $30.
I grade that coin as AG-3. That means it's a 3 on a scale of 70. The 1904S is a classic example of a coin whose value depends on its condition. In the condition your coin is in, it would probably retail for $15-20. The retail value for that same coin in MS-63, which means it's in mid grade uncirculated condition, is a whopping $4,200! Coin collecting lesson #1: condition is everything when it comes to the value of a coin.
condition is NOT everything. if your great-grandmother gave you a coin that she received as change as an 8-year-old girl, it would be priceless! who cares what redbook or krause says. value is not printed on pages of a book. this hobby is about enjoyment, not prices in a book.
