    Not until you learn some basic coin handling procedures. Some cardboard flips are fine ( non-PVC). Varieties are differences in coins like die cracks rotated dies things that are different with in a coin type. Stuff that happens during the minting process. Now that’s a short explanation. Others here can explain it better

    I am cringing at the way you are handling the coins 🙀fingerprints don’t come off. Handle coins by the edge. Cotton gloves a100percent cotton t-shirt. Also never clean coins. I don’t think you have any thing special but check for varieties. 🤓

    Sell it. I think you don’t like it and for me replacing it is the only option as looks matter and if I can’t enjoy it I’d rather take a loss than feel sad about it every time I look at it 🤓

    The obverse looks AU or road rash ms60. The reverse looks 64.

    I started with one of these I think I paid less but it was a pretty good way to have them all in a set. The bu’s can get pricey but I do like them. I heard there’s something like $1.25-$1.45 melt each

    Hey I went through so much bs out there until I landed here please use this resource as there are many smart people and I suggest following the forum and look how many times one or the other of the folks answer the same questions. What is my coin worth? You can read and post or just read for awhile. You will mostly get straight forward answers and once in awhile entertained 🤓

    I’ve been wanting to post this 58 because it’s pretty nice

    I think this goes to intent. What kind of a collector you are your goals (if any beyond enjoying your collection) It’s bound to make this a complex answer. I’ll say buying and selling is not as important as enjoyment of collecting and sometimes the hunt to me🤓

    1 cent?🤓

    Bullion examples number one: I bought 100oz.of silver between 2and5 years ago. At $12-$15 an oz. now it’s say $26 what profit beyond the obvious is there when I can’t replace it at$12-$15 So what would I achieve other than maybe $1000 once but nowhere to invest and who knows with silver very roller coaster 🤓. My point is that still at my level I don’t see a business opportunity

    I too would like to kinda sit back hunt some rolls and pay the mortgage. Mike said it pretty good. “Ain’t gunna happen.” Just one reason is all the other people who know more than me 🤓. I collect because it makes me happy. Value is something my heirs can figure out

    Remember that right now is not the best time to be buying Morgan’s or peace dollars because of higher than usual interest. The 2021 peace and Morgan’s are coming. Good luck and be careful out there.

    🧐thank you for your post. 1900 in ms62$50. Ms63 $60 ms64$70. Approximately. Grading fees and shipping with insurance $40? $50 Just trying to give you an average idea. Soooo cost of coin plus fees? eBay sold prices may help or ngc price guide. The coin looks cleaned or scratched in some way that throws me off but I don’t think that it will grade to high but now the fun begins. Newbie comments only from me but the senior opinions here will be along soon 🤓
