How can you find out the value of old silver dollars?
There are loads of web sites that give you current retail values. I've found www.numismedia.com to be one of the better sites because the values quoted are pretty realistic. You need to be a bit knowledgeable about the coins, in particular you need to know how worn they are and where to look for their mint marks. To help: Morgan dollars (1878-1921) have the mint mark above the ONE in ONE DOLLAR: No mark = Philadelphia S = San Francisco CC= Carson City O = New Orleans D = Denver (coins from 1921 only) Peace dollars (1921-35) have the mint mark between the eagle's tail and the word ONE. Mint marks will be none, D, or S.

Where is the mint stamp on an old gold coin?
To set things straight, it's called a mint mark. In general, mint marks were on the reverse side of older gold coins but not always. Also, coins struck at Philadelphia did not carry any mint mark in those days, so a coin without a mint mark is perfectly OK.I'd suggest looking at the site www.coinfacts.com. They have every date and mint mark listed, along with a description (and often a picture, too) of the mint mark location.
