What is the value of a dollar dated 1882 front side of coin a woman's head surrounded by stars and the letter e p l u r u s u n u m?

Answer 1

To explain things:

> The "woman" is Miss Liberty, in an image similar to that used on the Statue of Liberty.

> If you check your pocket change, you'll see that EVERY U.S. coin has the motto "E Pluribus Unum", so that's not a help in identifying a coin.

> What you have is called a Morgan dollar, named for its designer G. T. Morgan.

The 3 most important things to a coin's value are its date, how worn it is, and what mint mark (if any) is on it. Look for a small letter underneath the eagle's tail on the back of the coin. Assuming an average amount of wear, rough ranges for your coin's value would be:

> No mint mark, an "O" or an "S" - about $16 to $18

> A "CC" mint mark - $75 to $95
