<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Teddydogno1, post: 1933870, member: 71226&quot;]I&#039;m not really a coin collector, but I do have a few and find them interesting. I was looking at couple of my coins that I bought around 2000 and one of them surprised me a bit. The two I was looking at are Morgan silver dollars. One is 1891 S and the other 1892 S.&nbsp; The shop I bought them from had their own grading on the coins.&nbsp; They list the 1891 S as &quot;AU55&quot; and I wasn&#039;t too surprised to find value guides saying it is worth around $45-65.&nbsp; I was surprised to find that the 1892 has the potential to be worth a bit of &quot;coin&quot;, though.&nbsp; Unfortunately, the paper slip is missing from the sleeve, so I don&#039;t have the shop&#039;s grade handy.&nbsp; However I recall that they were graded and priced similarly when I bought them (the 92 does have a small oblong ring of discoloration on the eagle&#039;s head and right wing tip).&nbsp; What makes the 1892&#039;s value so much more than the 91?&nbsp; I&#039;m seeing values for it of $125 in VF20 and up to $1300+ for AU55!!</p><p><br /></p><p>In addition to learning why the 92 is more valuable than the 91 (or is the much lower minting the main reason?&nbsp; 5+ mil vs 1.2 mil), I also would like to know if this coin is in the upper value ranges and really needs to be professionally graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can post pictures, but as I&#039;m brand new to the forum I don&#039;t know the etiquette.&nbsp; Any and all comments are welcome.&nbsp; Thank you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rob[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
