Trick questions why is a 1888 penny worth more than a 1887 penny?

These two coins would be referred to as: Indian Head cents. In 1887, there were ~45,224,000 coins minted; in 1888, the US Mint produced ~37,490,000 coins. Therefore, the 1888 coin is worth a bit more because fewer were minted. Take 2 - The "TRICK" here is to get the question right . . . it should be stated as "Why are 1888 pennies worth more than 1887 pennies?" And the answer? - Because there is one more penny.

What are the values of 1881 1884 1885 1887 1890 1891 1896 Carson City morgans?

First off, the 1887-CC and 1896-CC are worth about one dollar. Why? Because they are counterfeits! They did not mint coins in Carson City during those years. The only CC Morgan Silver Dollars are from 1878-1885, and again from 1889-1893. The others (if real) are worth between $70 to upwards of $600, depending on the condition of the coin. The 1881 and 1885 are the better of the years listed, as they had less minted.

Were Queen Victoria coins minted with the head upside down?

It was the practice for coins to be minted with obverse and reverse 180 degrees out of alignment during Queen Victoria's time and earlier, although not all coins were minted that way. The practice seems to have gradually died out during the 19th century and ceased altogether in 1887. All Queen Victoria Pennies, Halfpennies and Farthings were minted with both sides aligned normally. The last Queen Victoria coins to be minted with obverse and reverse 180 degrees out of alignment were - Three-Halfpence - 1862 Twopence - 1848 Threepence - 1887 Sixpence - 1887 Shilling - 1887 Florin (Two Shillings) - 1887 Halfcrown - 1887 Crown (Five Shillings) - 1847 Half-Sovereign - 1887 Sovereign - 1887

1887 cc silver dollar?

5-11-11>> Assuming the coin is circulated and has no mintmark, the 1897 Morgan dollar is a common date of the series. Most coins show heavy wear. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. In general retail values for low grade coins are $38.00-$39.00, better grade are $40.00-$41.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $42.00-$44.00. Typical Mint State coins are $49.00-$53.00. 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.
