can anyone help

I have a 1987 silver american eagle one dollar coin, the condition is proof and the mint mark is "s". Could someone let me know if it is worth anything?
Help would be appreciated.

According to this price guide, if your 87-s SAE was graded PF69 it would be worth around $60.

Sorry for the ignorance but how would i know what the grade is?

 

You wouldnt know for sure unless you send it to a professional grading company like NGC or PCGS. There are alot more but these two are the best and by far the most popular. If you can post a picture maybe someone here can help you get close. I have trouble grading proofs, especially moderns.

Here are the web sites for the two:

Vicki:
The 1987 S in proof lists for about $35.
So, if you were selling it you would get less.

 

as my name goes can anyone tell me what a 1808 capped bust 50 cent piece is worth givin to me by my mother 4 years ago its in very good condition

 

can you post a picture of it? an estimate would be $40.
