1890 silver dollar

Many coin collectors collect coins simply for the aesthetic enjoyment out of having coins that were from a certain time period and hold a kind of memory that goes along with that period. Other coin collectors may actually be trying to get some worth out of those old coins in today's currency. If you have an 1890 silver dollar, you may want to have it examined by a professional to see if it is in fact worth any substantial amount. Depending on the condition and the "mark" of the coin, you may have an 1890 silver dollar that is worth somewhere around $20 or you may have an 1890 silver dollar that is worth something in the hundreds of thousands! It all depends on 2 primary factors. The first factor, obviously, is the condition of the coin. Is it scratched? Damaged at all? Or is it clean and mint? This will greatly determine how much you can get for it in today's money. The next factor that will determine ultimately the level of rareness of the 1890 silver dollar is the "mark" of the coin. If it bears a Philadelphia mark "no mint mark", then it's generally not worth more than $20-$40. The San Francisco "S mint mark" follows with a range of $20 to $8k or so. Next is the New Orleans "O mint mark", which is just slightly higher than the San Francisco valued at anywhere from $20 to $10k. Lastly is the "CC mint mark" of Carson City. This can range into the upper tens of thousands if condition is good and it was uncirculated. If you are the owner of an 1890 silver dollar, it's best to have it analyzed by a coin professional to ultimately see how much you can get for it, if you're thinking of cashing it in. You may be sitting on a gold mine and not even know it.
