Hi Sandy, Nice video on the very old early American Sliver Dollars. I was very fortunate to acquire a 1798 Small Eagle 13 stars Silver Dollar. It was from my Uncles coin collection back in 1986 after he had passed away. His sons wanted to sell his collection of coins. I asked them if I could buy the dad’s favorite coin the 1798 dollar. They said sure I could. They said what ever the dealer offer them for it I would pay them the amount. So little history on the coin my uncle bought it n the mid 1960’s for $350. Not graded at that time. He always told me it was a VF20 or better. So his sons sold it to me in 1986 for $900 I assumed that was the whole sale price from the dealer. I had it all these years and finally had my coin deal send it out for grading last year Jan of 2021 and I got it back in March of 1986 from PCGS and they graded it at VF25 small eagle 13 stars. Genuine. My dealer said at the time it was worth between $7000-$8000 I couldn’t believe it. Wow! I did ok I would say. It’s like an heirloom in the family. I keep it always in the safe deposit box. Thought you like to know. Take care and will enjoy more of your videos in the future. Bill
I have the piece of the year 1794 Dollar is uncirculated with more detailed relief with its Original weight its diameter. original all as marked by the Red Book 8 edition. which makes this piece more complete than the one that was auctioned for 10 million dollars. when I checked all the data on this . I'm euphoric. since I also have the piece from the year 1796. This piece does show wear. I also have the one from the year 1802, it also has wear. but. I have an exclusive piece, a Morgan from the year 1877, it is a Half Morgan. it is intact with a super cool patina I would say that it is a unique piece in the book it is with a price and the three variants of its kind
Just a comment on the number of 1795 Flowing Hair Dollars which were minted... It is my understanding that the numbers of coins (population size) is not exactly known for the 1795 coins minted in 1795, mainly because the mint (which was "new") did not keep records for the number of flowing hair and the number of Draped Bust that were struck in that year... (in other words, the total struck is a combined number)... The guess is that the 1795 Flowing Hairs were struck first in that year and were about 80,000 range... The true population surviving is tough to know because many of these coins went quickly overseas, especially to Asia/China because Silver was there only accepted method of taking payment for goods purchased for export... (and these were often melted down by the Chinese and converted to their own coins..) A perhaps more useful number is to check with the number of 1795 flowing hair dollar coins graded by PCGS, which off the top of my head is in the area of 3,000 total for all grades and types which they have looked at...
I own a 1807 Draped Bust half dollar too. Also the 1805 Draped Bust quarter, 1802 large cent and the 1804 half cent. I think my Draped Bust coin collecting is done, those cost me enough! It's probably my favorite US coin design with the Heraldic Eagle reverse.
I know im asking randomly but does anybody know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the login password. I would love any help you can give me!
@David Ryder I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
The 36g is very much overweight in my opinion... check PGCS for exact specs.. also might want to check for magnetic properties, or, just take to a good coin dealer to inspect...
