Maybe I could, maybe I couldn't, but the picture links don't work for me. I'm going out on a limb here and guess the answer is "probably not". Don't mind me, Bryand1, I simply don't get the fascination with so-called (probably not, actually) "error coins".
I would like to know if this coin is one I should snag up quickly and if it has much value. I have only come across one other one on the internet and it was marked at a somewhat good price
That is one of the most common, AND most common in high grade, Morgan dollars that exist. There are literally MILLIONS of them out there, many much nicer than this one. That said, MANY people on his very site would throw their mother under a train to get at it MERELY because it's silver. MY mother is already dead.
First time, no. Second time, yes. I'm sensing an almost "panicked" desire to rush into this. All I can advise is "cool your jets", there is NO reason for urgency. Breathe, think, calm down.
My next coin i am posting because i thought pure silver coins were 64 and under. I have never seen one up in this date range being all silver so I am curious about it.
No I'm not going to purchase these coins for any amount, they are being given to me if I want them in my collection
Is that mintmark an "S". Too much motion blur on the photo. If it is an "S", ON THAT YEAR, it means it is 40% silver, not the 90% silver that older classic coins are. The "S" means San Francisco, and that mint only struck 40% silver in 1971 dollars, in two different finishes.
I also have a similar coin not completely silver or this date, but mat have delamination in some spots that are hard to see totally without jewellers loop
Yes its an s mark, but I don't see any copper or other material in it lime other coins that aren't of pure silver. I have only found one other coin like it in that date with the s being all silver content. That's why I'm posting it
Chances are it either has NO mintmark under Ike or it has a "D". If so, it contains NO silver, just copper and some nickel, way more copper than nickel. The screwy part is on that, value can range WILDLY, depending on condition.
All 1971-S Ike dollars are 40% silver, no exceptions. None have any more than 40%. But do NOT overgeneralize about this. Once we got to 1973, all heck broke loose. It ALL got weird.
If there's copper nine coin wouldn't you 're the copper coloring around the edges lime others that contain copper. They as lighter in weight from the copper coins as well. That last picture didn't turn out so well i just noticed. Sorry I will fix my settings
If they're being offered as freebies for your personal collection, why not simply take those that appeal to you?
Yes it is mint marked with an S. Both coins are but they appealed to me only because of their weight and no signs of having copper in them. I have a lot to learn obviously, lol. But I am a quick learner and am loving every bit of this coin experience. I can sit at my table all day looking thru my loop and seeing all the different markings of each coin I pick up.
It doesn't show, but trust me, all of them have MORE copper in them than silver. All the 1971-1974 proofs and individually packaged uncirculated Ike dollars do.
So here's what I'm talking about. The Ridge of this coin has copper showing and is also a 71 and the other one has no copper edging like this and weighs lighter then this one does so what makes both coins different silver content
The ones that come from San Fran and contain SOME silver are 24.59 grams, and the other ones are 22.68 grams. Good fingers!
Ok I understand now. My next question is how is someone going to be able to tell if a picture posted on to the site is an actual error coin without actually seeing the coin in person to be able to get better views and or closer looks at the coin? Because at this time I am getting all my wheat cents in somewhat of an order by the year and how many I have of each one and there's quite a few coins here and I have multiple coins that are the same year but different color and tone and difference in weight, thickness and by thickness I mean as in everything on the coin is different height or thickness. I have a couple of that could be cud marks and a dark brownish In tone to a reddish brown. I have a variety starting from 1909 up to 1990 and only missing a few yrs in between. I don't posting every single one is the right way to go, so I'll probably pick the ones with the most potential I suppose as being an error coin.
