What is the value of an 1878 E Pluribus Unum coin?

Answer 1

1958 is the last year for Lincoln cents with the wheat ears on the back -- and they made a lot of them. If yours is anything less than an absolutely perfect flawless mint red gem, its value will be only a couple cents. FYI, most modern US Coins, and many dating back to the 1800's, have E Pluribus Unum on them.

Answer 2

1882 is not a rare date for Morgan dollars. In circulated condition, it's worth about $15 If it has a "CC" mintmark, on the back above the "DO" in DOLLAR, it's worth about $75 == == As you can tell from looking at your pocket change, all current and most older U.S. coins carry the motto E Pluribus Unum ("From many, one") so this isn't a distinguishing characteristic. The most important characteristics are denomination, date, mintmark, and condition. == ==

I am going to answer your question under the assumption you are asking about an 1878 Morgan Dollar (Left facing lady liberty on obverse and spread winged eagle on reverse). As with any collectible, a primary consideration in determining its value is its condition (or grade). Novice collectors, with some practice, can become quite accurate in determining grades for circulated coins (G-4 through AU-50). It becomes much more difficult when assigning grades for Uncirculated coins (MS-60 through MS-70) or Proof coins (PF-60 through PF-70) and the assistance of an experienced coin collector or trusted coin dealer should be sought. Another consideration is the whether the coin has a mintmark. A mintmark indicates where the coin was made. D = Denver O = New Orleans S = San Francisco CC = Carson City Coins struck in Philadelphia generally do not bear a mintmark. There are many internet and printed resources in helping determine the appropriate grade for a coin. Whichever resource you choose to use, ensure that they follow the grading guidelines established by the American Numismatic Association. Unless you have indicated the mintmark of the coin, the following is a value range for the coin in question, struck in Philadelphia and is taken from the Numismatic News Coin Market Monthly Price Guide for February 2007: NOTE: There are several varieties of this coin. The following values are for an 1878 8 Tail Feather Morgan Silver Dollar. VG8- $27.50 F12- $30.00 VF20- $37.50 XF40- $46.00 AU50- $73.50 MS60- $125.00 MS63- $170.00 MS65- $1300.00 I hope this answered your question. If not, try phrasing your question differently and I will do my best to answer. Please remember to leave feedback. Thank you. MGirard

Answer 4

With no mint mark, retail is 15c to $2.00 depending on condition. With an S mint mark, 30c to $9.00. With a D, 60c to $15.

Also, as you can tell from your pocket change (you DO look at your pocket change, don't you?) all U.S. coins carry the motto E Pluribus Unum so that does not help to identify a coin.

Answer 5

Nearly all American coins carry the motto "E Pluribus Unum" so that's not an identifying mark.

Please post a new question with the coin's denomination. If there's a mint mark letter on the back include that with your question.

Answer 6

Not enough information. The words E Pluribus Unum and Liberty appear on ALL U.S. coins so that doesn't help to identify it. Please post a new question with the coin's denomination, condition, and mint mark. Thanks!

Answer 7

August 21, 2009 The color of the Lincoln Cent affects its value but since the 1968-S is a relatively recent coin and the condition of interest is uncirculated, the values shown will be for a Brilliant Red Uncirculated coin. Also, there are numerous grades of "uncirculated" which apply to the 1968-S Lincoln Cent. Those grades and their associated values are shown in the following list: Uncirculated Grades............1968-S MS64....................................$7 MS65....................................$12 MS66....................................$25 MS67....................................$312

Answer 8

Assuming the coin is circulated and has no mintmark, the 1887 Morgan dollar is a common coin. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Most coins show a lot of wear. In general retail values for low grade coins are $18.00-$21.00, better grade are $22.00-$23.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $24.00-$29.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched, used as jewelery or have been cleaned have far less value if any to a collector or dealer
