Circulated coins, are so intimately tied to history. When they have that 1800's crust on them, its almost like looking back in time!

Thank you for the correction! Your totally right. I missed this fact and it's important because it highlights that attrition and mintage are two very different figures that both affect a coins value whether perceived or actual. 1885-CC are also quite scarce but they do exist in higher numbers in UNC which gives a perception that they are more common

@True Irony That is a GREAT find! Love it

Thanks for posting. When he said LOWEST mintage I froze for a sec... WHAT? Needed to see your info quick.

Very cool!

They most certainly are! a good subject for a future video.

@@devastator665 BTW, I hate peace dollars, bec they're a cheapened product like so much of the coinage as the dollar depreciated.

You can email me an inventory of what you have. sam@ssrarecoins.com

Well shoot! 1889-O is a still a good date but it needs to be a bit higher than VF to get into the real premium grades. Yes this is a good point about caring for coins. The 1889-CC was raw at the time because we sent it in for grading. I was also filming over a padded surface. Never a good idea let a coin like an 1889-CC bounce around and contact other coins.

@@devastator665 ~ not a good idea to led your Morgans contact BARE SKIN either...ahem.

I see. S is for San Francisco. It would be more collectible if the date is 1898.

Good question, I wish I had the coins to compare still, but from past examples I do believe it is possible that the size can vary very slightly between mints. I know for a fact, gold coins of the same era, do in fact have differen't diameters and edge reeding patterns.

Prices are much higher now. Silver prices. SDbullion has the best prices I could find.

We are a coin dealership so we typically pay less than retail pricing since our profit comes from buying less than what it is worth and then selling it for what it is worth.

I have a 1898 Morgan silver cc, is it valuable?

That means yours originated from the Philadelphia mint. A good number of brilliant uncirculated Philly mint bags got paid out so those coins tend to be quite common but some uncirculated examples could be worth more if they are really exceptional nice. They would have to look absolute pristine though, almost like they were made yesterday.

In the case of the CC we did grade.

I only deal in the United States Indianapolis area I'm sorry. I would suggest looking for a coin dealership in India.

Neat coins!

Hello we are currently located in Fishers IN 46038

of course, sorry for the delay, Unfortunately we lost staffing during the pandemic so KZfaq is not checked as often, but if you ever need help with coins, please email sam@ssrarecoins.com. And we will go from there :)

There are actually a lot of statements here that are not true. Firstly the Carson City 1889-CC was so original and circulated grading is so cut and dry there was really no need to make a lower offer due to risk. Sure, on some coins we would never throw out that much money on a raw piece. But on circulated Carson's the market is solid. We sold this raw with no hassle. You are correct on luster to an extent in that it is important but really when it comes to an MS coin luster is a basic assumption that it will be there and that it will be fine. For instance above MS62 the coin should have full luster period. So really the more important aspect of grading is contact or bag marks. There is no exact science to how to determine how many bag marks a coin has nor is specific number important. It's about how much of the coin is affected by them. Does it have a ton of them? Well it's probably a 60-63 then. Does it have only a small handful? Then it's probably a gem. 65-67. Gloves is a huge misnomer. None of the professional graders use gloves. Some uneducated KZfaqrs proclaim they are important but as someone who actually submits thousands upon thousands of coins and frankly makes thousands and thousands of dollars each year doing it, gloves make no difference in and of themselves why? Because it's all about how you hold the coin. Coins should be held by the rim as much as possible. If you must touch anywhere else try to let it touch the skin lightly at best. The oils on our hands can affect the surface of the coin, but your much more likely to drop a coin with cotton gloves. That edge grip is critical. This is not my opinion though, you can find this information directly on NGC and PCGS websites. At the end of the day whether we like them or not, they control the market so we grade to their standards. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

@@devastator665 consider me more educated now. Thank you for kindly explaining your position. Keep being awesome.

If you felt I was in anyway attacking your creditability I sincerely apologize. I was comming from a position of amateur asking questions. I should have phrased my comment better. I will still wear gloves when handling coins but I handle mostly modern coinage. I feel the chance of damage from my hands is greater than any drop damage only because I always have a soft landing spot. I'm clumsy like that. Again thanks for not really ripping into me as I'm sure you could have. Knowledge is power and there are no cheat codes. I TRIED U,U D,D L,R L,R B,A SELECT- START.
