Can someone give me an idea about the 1883 silver dollars i have.....they look like they just came off the mint and have been in storage for 30+ years..........
1883 dollars I am clueless when it comes to technology.....i have a scanner but i'm sure that is not whent i need for you to see the coins......... have any other suggestions.........?
A scan is better than nothing. Just be sure to crop the picture to the size of the coin without a lot of background.
I'll take a stab at this, here is a MS 1883 Morgan...does yours have this detail?: Mint mark, if any, is just above the word Dollar (between the D and O) on the reverse Basic worth... 1883 (no mint mark) 12,290,000 minted MS63: $40 MS64: $55 MS65: $150 1883-CC 1,204,000 minted MS63: $165 MS64: $225 MS65: $350 1883-O 8,725,000 minted MS63: $40 MS64: $55 MS65: $100 1883-S (not easily found in high MS grades) 6,250,000 minted MS63: $1700+ MS64: $3200+ MS65: $21,000+ Alsp for more online prices, look at: http://www.bestcoin.com/us-morgan-dollars.htm

The value of any coin is greatly affected by its condition, as well as its year and mintmark. For a genuine 1916D (mintage 264,000), regardless of condition, my outdated two-year old Red Book puts the value at $500 to $5,500. On the other hand, for a genuine 1916S (mintage 10,450,000) the same book says $3 to $60. Current prices are undoubtedly higher. From your description you have a cataloging job ahead of you that really needs a skilful numismatist to undertake. You would undoubtedly be better off to pay a qualified person a fee for appraising the coins than to buy and study all the books necessary for you to consider doing it yourself. The first step would be to do a basic inventory, which would allow you to focus on the "top end" material. If it was accumulated over many years, ending in 1975, most of the dimes and up will either be 90% silver, or 21.6k gold, so you're looking at several times face value in just bullion value. Is it all U.S. coinage? If there are any foreign coins in the mix, at least the denominations equivalent to dimes and up will also be gold and silver. *************** satootoko has just replied to a thread you have subscribed to entitled - 1916 mercury dimes - in the Main Coin Forum forum of Coin Talk Forum.

The mint mark (S, O, CC) is just above the letters D and O of the word Dollar...nothing more or nothing in between them. Like this:
The value of the coin depends of it's condition obviously. I'd liket to see the condition of some coins sitting in storage for over 30 years. Get out and borrow a didgital camera!
PICTURES...PICTURES....PICTURES.... We are all coin junkies that need our picture fix! If a scanner is all you have, then try to scan them. We'll take anything we can get
After you scan them, then the scanner will save the pictures on your computer's hard drive. When you send pictures to your sister you have to send them as an attachment (usually) and it is the same for posting them here. When you are typing a post then a few inches below the dialog box (where you are typing) is a bold type heading that says "Attach Files:" just to the right of that is a link that says "Manage Attachments". Just click on that link and it will open a new window where you can browse your computer for the file that your scanner saved. After finding the file, double-click it and it will be listed in the box there. Finally, click the "Add This File" button and when you post, your picture will be listed as an attachment in the post. Good luck! CD
