Yeah, kinda, I have an 1880 silver dollar, its only worth about $40.:(
Dang it! And I've been holding on to them like they would be something worthy later on ... oh well, that is the way the ball bounces. :smokin:Quote:

Like the old school baggie? lmao
One like mine is worth 40 pounds. But mine has mint marks when I look at it with my lope. Mine is worn in one spot like it was fingered there a lot to see if it was real or something on the back. :cool:Quote:

Morgans are Very Common, Condition, Rarity, Toning & Mint Mark all play a part of the value. Some can go into the 10's of Thousands so it's all ways good to have it looked at by someone that knows...
I collect Early American Silver, These were minted with a screw press by hand...
Other day had no cash on me so was counting pocket change, was almost at my mark, stuck my hand in my jacket and found a dime! perfect just what I needed... had to be a silver piece right? grrr...
Found out quite a bit about this coin, especially after I looked at it with my lope. It was minted by the Toulouse Mint which is making it interesting since I haven't been able to find any of this coin minted there, and the symbols I have are different then those on other coins.Quote:

The coin has been ranging from several hundred euro's (dollars) to one being auctioned on e-bay @ $20.00 +. Besides the mint mark, mine has the symbol of a tree, has been definitely in circulation. I wonder how many hands it passed through. :what:
Now I hope to find how many were minted at Toulouse, and that will help determine the value of this good quality coin. :D
Thanks for the advice! Now there is the task of finding someone to trust ... we all know there are unsavory dealers out there.Quote:

There is very little mention of Domard in all the references except for 1832-1848, and nothing connecting him to 1831 coins other then his name on the front of mine. :wtf:
The number of coins stuck at the Toulouse mint in 1831 was 728,593, where as the Paris mint struck in the 2 million range. Value is also determined by a lower number of struck coins, as as of yet, I have not been able to find my coin or the master ingraver mark of Domard. And on closer examination it looks more like a plant then a tree. The base is flared and the top looks like an artichoke!!! :lol5:
Another funny thing, using google, or another search engine, many of the different domains or coms that all have the same information just a little different in format. Weird. :D
do a search of the characteristics and how many were stuck!!! :thumbsup: don't melt diddly. :DQuote:

He was still bitching me out for that 40 years later. :D
My papa is a coin collector, he loves them.
I never understood why.
