[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 89661, member: 669"][img]http://www.cosgan.de/images/more/schilder/142.gif[/img] to CoinTalk. US coinage is not my cup of tea, so take what I say with a grain (or two) of salt, and wait to hear what some of our experts have to say. IMHO your Morgan dollars from the New Orleans Mint aren't worth a whole lot more than their bullion value of about $6.35. The 1890 would probably grade Fine and the 1896 is a damaged Very Fine, at best. From the nature of the rim damage, I suspect that at some time it was part of a bolo tie, or a similar jewelry application. The Peace Dollar is in much better condition and without seeing it in hand I would estimate its grade at About Uncirculated - possibly Uncirculated if it is substantially more lusterous than the photo shows. 1921 was the first year of issue for that design, and carries a premium over most other years, so you may have a $100 or better coin there. :)[/QUOTE]
