<p>[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 13290, member: 669"]Frankly the problem with your pictures is not their resolution, but how dark they are! I was able to lighten them in my rudimentary photo editing program enough to see that you may have an 1894 Philadelphia (no mint mark) Morgan Dollar (if it is genuine). I'm one of the 17 coin collectors in the world who doesn't collect Morgans, and I have zero expertise with regard to them, but from your description and what I can see of the coin in your pictures, I would guess that its grade is no higher than MS60, which is quoted at $950 in the 2003 Red Book. Perhaps someone with a greysheet will see your posting and give you a more current figure. The relevant Red Book range is from $600 for an almost uncirculated coin, to $3,500 for an MS63, a grade level which I don't think your coin can achieve. There were only 110,000 business strikes and 972 proofs minted in Philadelphia that year, and almost 3-million business strikes at the New Orleans and San Francisco mints combined.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
