What is the value of an 1881 silver dollar coin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Coin values depend very much on the condition of the coin and the mintmark. On the Morgan dollar, issued in the United States between 1878 and 1904 then again in 1921, the mintmark can be found on the reverse (eagle) side at the bottom.

For an 1881 Philadelphia mint coin (shows no mintmark), in average circulated condition the coin is worth roughly $15 wholesale. In average uncirculated (also called mint state, or MS) condition, it may be worth $40. In gem uncirculated condition (MS-65) it is hard to find, so may have a value exceeding $600. In virtually perfect condition it may be worth more than $5000. (All prices as of September 2007 -- prices vary by demand level.)

Other mintmarks found on 1881 Morgan dollars are S (San Francisco), O (New Orleans), and CC (Carson City). The values of S and O mint 1881 dollars are about the same as the Philadelphia mint values in circulated to average uncirculated condition. O mint dollars jump even higher in gem uncirculated and better condition, while the S mint is more common, and thus less valuable, in gem grades. The CC version is much more valuable in lower grades, due to its rarity overall, but it does not gain as much in higher grades. A circulated CC coin of this date may bring $300, while in gem uncirculated state it could be worth $750 or so.

There are other factors that influence coin values, including toning (color) and surface reflectivity. In all cases try to avoid contact with the surfaces, and never attempt to clean or polish your coins, as this will almost certainly reduce its value.

Who made the stairs in the Statue of Liberty?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Frederic Auguste Bartholdi sculpted the statue and obtained a US patent for its structure. Maurice Koechlin - chief engineer of Gustave Eiffel's engineering company and designer of the Eiffel Tower - engineered the internal structure. Eugene Violiet-le-Duc was responsible for the choice of copper in the statue's construction and adoption of the repousse technique, where a malleable metal is hammered on the reverse side.

The statue is made of a sheathing of pure copper, hung on a framework of steel (originally puddled iron) with the exception of the flame of the torch, which is coated in gold leaf (originally made of copper and later altered to hold glass panes). It stands atop a rectangular stonework pedestal with a foundation in the shape of an irregular eleven-pointed star. The statue is 151 ft (46 m) tall, but with the pedestal and foundation, it is 305 ft (93 m) tall.

How long would it take for a ball to hit the ground if dropped from the statue of liberty?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The ESB is much wider at its base than at its top, so no object dropped from its top would hit the sidewalk.

HOWEVER, an object dropped from the height of the ESB would, if it experienced no air friction nor hit anything along the way, would hit the ground in 8.8 seconds. However, air friction would delay this by a few seconds, as a small ball would experience air resistance before that time.

Is the words on the Statue of Liberty written in English?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, its called the statue of liberty poem, honoring the poet Emma Lazarus, with the text of 'The new colossus' It was erected in 1903

It goes like this:

Not like the brazen giant of Greek Fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

mother of exiles. From her beacon-hand

glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep ancient lands, you storied pomp!"

Cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your

poor

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless. Tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

In what year was lady liberty completed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

France and America both worked on the Statue of Liberty. France was building the actual statue and America was working on the foundation for the statue. Both had trouble finacing their efforts so the statue was actually about 10 years late from the time the visionaries wanted to dedicate the statue. Anyhow, the statue was completed in July of 1884 in France but the foundation for her wasn't completed until 1886 in America. On October 28, 1886 the dedication of the statue took place after she had been transported from France to the US in crates and then reassmbled.
