<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Whendric, post: 13423949, member: 143854&quot;]I recently found a nice looking Morgan dollar in my mom&#039;s safe deposit box. She received it as a Christmas present when she was a child (sometime between 1947-1955). I&#039;m not a fan of the Morgan series but it looked to me like the coin was just minted yesterday. I did some research online and decided to send it off to a TPG to see what it might be worth and to get it slabbed for protection.</p><p><br /></p><p>It came back &quot;Surfaces Smoothed - AU Details.&quot; It&#039;s been in the bank vault for 70 years so I&#039;m not sure when it was smoothed or what that really means. My question is how do I determine a value? Right now it&#039;s sitting on the lazy Susan in the middle of the dining room table. She likes to pick it up to look at from time to time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone explain what &quot;surfaces smoothed&quot; means. All that I could find online is that it seems to have nefarious connotations. Does that mean it&#039;s only worth melt? I see the lines on the surface of the coin but they look to be uniform across the front and back of the coin, so I thought that they might have been in the blank when the coin was minted.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1529860[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1529861[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
