I found unique gold US dollar. Can u help me to learn more about it. And what will be the price if I decide to sell it. Additional information: I've read in red book that only 800 coins were minted in this year (1885). Thank u.
The coins would not sell for much as coins graded 1885-o (mintmark it is located beneth the bow on the reverse). are commonly known to be high grades. www.coinfacts.com has tons of information readily available for you on almost evrey coin youd want to know about minted in the United States.
This coin has been gold plated...it would sell for under $10 I think....unless if you found a collector of plated coins then maybe you could get a few more dollars. Speedy
Just wondering... is it because there's no mint mark on it? If there's no mint mark wouldn't it mean that its by the Philadelphia mint? Sorry, I'm still learning
No mintmark means P....there are some cases where a coin without a mintmark is NOT a P...but they are call errors by most people...like the 1982-P dime without the P... Speedy
Speedy, So if you come across a coin without a mint mark how would you know whether its an error or not? Doesn't error coins worth more?
One of the most famous examples is the 1922 cent. No cents were produced at the Philadelphia Mint. They were all made in Denver. So they should all have "D" mintmarks. But they don't. What happened was that old, worn dies with the "D" mintmark were used to the point that the "D" wore off and disappeared. There are "weak D" examples and "no D" examples, as well as regular 1922D cents. I've seen all three, and you can tell the difference when they're lined up next to each other.
Your coin has a mintmark on it (It is that little "o" below the bow of the wreath on the reverse). That particular date/MM combo is relatively common, even in higher grades, so it isn't particularly valuable. Additionally, since it has been gold-plated it is considered damaged by the numismatic community and is only worth its bullion value.
The way you know is to learn...read books and ask questions...as it has been said...1922 cents without a P---1982 dimes without the P...there are some Proof dimes without the S... Speedy
As I understood u it doesn't costs more than 1 or 2 kUSD? I read abou this coin that it is very expensive and only 800 coins were srtoke.
You have mis-read something, then. There were more than 9 Million of these made. I don't know what a "kUSD" is, but your coin is worth about 7 dollars in US currency). p.s. the only morgan dollar (the design that you have shown us) with a mintage of anywhere near 800 is the 1895 with a proof only mintage of 880. Those are expensive, but you probably won't find one of them gold plated unless it is a counterfeit or fantasy peice.
Thank u very much. U clearly explained me, u are really have good knowledges in numismatix. P.s. kUSD menas kilo USD = thousand.
