The 1882-S Morgan dollar is common, circulated examples are $26.00-$32.00. A typical Mint State coin is $35.00-$50.00
7-16-11>>> With the date of 1882 the coin is a Morgan dollar(1878-1904 & 1921) and if the coin has one, the mint mark on all Morgan dollars is on the back above the letters DO in the word dollar. It can only be a "O", "S" or "CC" mintmark. If the coin has no mintmark it was struck in Philadelphia.
It's called a Morgan Dollar not a lady liberty dollar. The 1882-S is a common date/mint Morgan, circulated coins are valued at $17.00-$26.00
This coin is normally called a Morgan dollar after its designer, G. T. Morgan. As of 07/2008: If it has a CC mint mark on the back it's worth $75-$100. Any other mint mark is worth $16 to $20 depending on condition.
If it has one, it's on the reverse, under the eagle and above DO in the word dollar. If no minmtark the coin was struck in Philadelphia.
If you know it's a 1921 "S" Morgan you found the mint mark
Mintmarks (if any) are on the reverse of the coin between the wreath and the letters DO in dollar.
It is necessary to know the amount of wear and mint mark (if it has one) to be able to make an estimate of value. I would suggest you take your coin to a reliable dealer and have it appraised.
To determine where a coin was minted it is necessary to locate the mint mark. This mark is a small letter or letters located somewhere on the coin. For the Morgan Dollar, this mark is located on the reverse [tails] side of the coin just above the letters "DO" in the word "DOLLAR". For the Carson City mint the mark is a "CC". {quotes are mine}
1882 would make it a Morgan dollar, so the mint mark is on the reverse (tails) side, near the bottom, just above the letters "do" in the word "dollar."
Values vary from coin to coin depending upon the date, the mint mark and the condition of the coin.
The mint mark on all Morgan dollars is on the back above the letters DO in the word dollar.None = PhiladelphiaO = New OrleansS = San FranciscoD = Denver (1921 only)CC = Carson City
