<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 1456586, member: 4703&quot;]If it really had a genuine &quot;D&quot; mintmark, it would be extremely rare and virtually priceless, despite the PMD, since the Denver Mint didn&#039;t open until 1906, and the only Morgan Dollars minted there were the 1921 revival.&nbsp; The &quot;D&quot; on the back isn&#039;t a mint mark, it&#039;s just more PMD.&nbsp; (&quot;D&quot; was also the mintmark at Dahlonega, but only gold coins were made there, and it closed in 1861.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The Philadelphia mintage of 1879 (14,807,100) was the largest up to that time, and one of the largest of the 19th Century.&nbsp; In the condition shown it wouldn&#039;t be worth much more than its melt value without the PMD, and with that damage IMHO you would be lucky to get 95% of the value of its actual silver weight of .7734 oz.
