Description

With mass melting of 90% coinage during the 20th and 21st Centuries, large amounts of the silver dollar mintages were taken off the market forever. So, just looking at mintage numbers does not provide a fair estimate of the intrinsic value of these coins. Investing in semi-key date Morgan Dollars, like the 1898-S in this lot, should yield a good return over the long run.
