Value Of Silver Dollar Coins

Want to learn more about the value of silver dollar coins? Read on for facts and info that will help you determine the value of a silver dollar coin when looking to buy and sell in the market…

The buying and selling of silver dollar coins is a full-fledged trade worth thousands of dollars. Some people are interested in acquiring silver dollar coins for purpose of adding to their coin collection. There are others that consider it to be a good medium of investment. In either case it is extremely important for interested individuals to know the value of silver dollar coins when looking to buy and sell them in the market.

The fact of the matter is that the value of silver dollar coins can vary greatly with respect to the year of their mintage and the particular condition in which the coin is. For example one of the most popular silver dollar coins are the silver Morgan dollar coins. On an average you will be able to find silver Morgan dollar coins ranging from just a few dollars to quite a few thousands. The rarity of the particular coin in question along with its condition is going to have an effect on its price.

The general rule is that the rarer a coin is the higher it will be valued irrespective of its condition. This is because coin collectors are more interested in acquiring that coin for the year of its mintage rather than its condition. However if you go for coins that are not rare then that condition plays a fundamental role in determining the price and value of silver dollar coins. With regards to the above mentioned silver dollar coin, one that is rare and you are able to find it in the brilliant uncirculated condition then a coin like that can yield you a fortune.

Many other countries have their own varieties of extremely unusual silver coins that are also assigned very high values. Early European and Britannias silver coins from the last century are classic examples of such coins. Then there are other coins such as the peace dollars which have become extremely rare. These were con coins that have now acquired high collectorship status. At an average a complete set of peace dollars can range from $1000 to more than $2000 depending upon its condition. In the case of peace dollars a complete set would have coins from 1931 to 1935 bearing the marks of different mintage firms on them. Although peace coins were officially recalled there are still some available in the market which is what makes them extremely rare and thus valuable.

The above mentioned example can be applied to a variety of different coins both in silver and gold. Thus it is important to pay due diligence to determine the true value of silver dollar coins when looking to buy or sell them in the market. In this way you will be able to get a fair bargain in the silver dollar coins of your interest. Interested individuals will also be able to find guides regarding silver dollar values for specific coins. It is however important to understand that they tend to appreciate in value over time which is why you need to be updated with regards to silver dollar coin value guides. Similarly you will be able to find a grading guide which will help you to assign the appropriate grade to a particular silver dollar coin.

How Genuine is Encapsulated Coin?

Below is an interesting British Trade Dollar 1911B silver dollar coin auctioned at e-bay using BUY IT NOW at Rm200 ,encapsulated and graded by ANACS as AU-55.

Let’s see what it means by AU-55:

AU-55 (Good About Uncirculated) – Sharp legends and devices show only a hint of wear on the high points. Remaining mint luster must be at least half; great eye appeal.

Tamperedb Capsulated British Trade Dollar Coin
If we looked closely, we see:
  • Two or more large digs mark on the Britania’s right shoulder,
  • Stratches on the coin especially at the breast and middle part of the legs,
  • The strikes seems to be light and crude on both sides of the coin
  • There are many nicks at the edges.
  • There is also the China-Great Britain description on the top of the encapsulated coin.

Sound suspicious? Should we buy now as it is so-called chopped/certified by ANACS??

Not sure, perhaps it is more towards the term “caveat emptor”- lets the buyer beware!!

British Trade Dollar 1988 5 Oz Trade Dollar Medal Silver Proof?

This is an interesting silver British Trade Dollar coin which were bidded by 8 people and realized USD 133.50 in e-bay auction (excluding shipping cost). At the first glance, it looks extremely attractive- 1895 medal silver proof but in reality on the other side, at the 6 o’clock , it is a 1988 5 oz Trade Dollar Medal silver proof.

Very honestly, I was also very carried away thinking of buying so cheap a proof copy of the British Trade Dollar when just looking at the date 1895 instead of the other side -right to the bottom side of the coin ( at 6 o’clock) the year 1988 and also faulting myself for not properly reading the text of the auction description. ( greed- cheap sale?) When I looked at other e-bay sites with similar auction the similar silver proof is sold for about USD43.00 which I believe for its SILVER bullion price. Anyway, this RESTRIKE copy by private mint is quite a beauty to behold !

A political cartoon published in the April 25, 1874 issue of Harper's Weekly. Entitled "Rags for Our Working Men—Specie for the Foreigners", the caption for this cartoon reads "Columbia: Dear me, I do think it very wrong that the good nice trade dollar (worth 100 cents) should be sent out of the country for the benefit of the 'heathen Chinee,' for if these gentlemen are permitted to have their own way, it will take a basket full of greenbacks (worth —?) to buy dinner for my children."[27]
