The final coin is an 1855 large cent that has a hole on the top. The second coin is a 1933 Roosevelt-Luck Tillicum coin with the phrase “Road to Prosperity” on it. My first coin is a 1776 Continental currency with the phrase “mind your business” written on the front and “we are one” and the 13 colonies on the back. I would like to know what value they are to me and how to find out some more about them. Q: I have some coins that I recently inherited. They are now worth about $100 each and up, depending upon condition. Bullion silver was in the $3-to-$4 range. Your Carson City dollars (an additional government hoard was sold by the General Services Administration at a later sale) originally went for about $30 each. Many were heavily bag-marked while others were proof-like and very desirable.

Although the Carson City dollars (so-called because of the CC mint mark standing for the Carson City Mint, where they were produced) were considered uncirculated, the quality of the coins varied widely. They are traded openly at coin shows and by dealers. The coins were issued in a plastic container, such as you described, and are still coveted by collectors. But there was considerable public interest in the sale. They had not been released for circulation because the bulky silver dollar had fallen from popularity. These coins were considered surplus and had been languishing in government vaults all these years. LaC.Īnswer: Your coins are part of a public sale of Carson City dollars in 19. I am interested to know the approximate value of each coin.-A.W. Inside the top cover is a printed message: “As we approach America’s Bicentennial, this historic silver dollar is one of the most valued reminders of our national heritage.-Richard Nixon.” The coins are dated 1883-CC and 1884-CC, and there’s a numbered card with the story of the Carson City coins and the phrase U.S. Each is sealed in a plastic container that says Carson City uncirculated silver dollar. Question: I have two silver dollars, which are a gift.
