| It is quite hard to affirm what the proce of a silver coin is at present. Silver dollars were first minted in the United states of america in 1794. Nevertheless, not all coins are of exceptional value although they may boast of a long history. The US mint used to coin a good number of silver money. But now it is in the dim and distant past, since it was withdrawn from circulation a long period of time ago and is produced mainly for numismatists. Anyway, possessors of silver dollars want to know the value of their collections. The older - the more expensive The age of a silver coin is regarded one of the chief criteria that influences its cost. The mint is thought to have produced only 2 THOUSAND coins of the 1794 silver money & Flowing Hair Liberty silver dollars. Thus, they are believed to be of high value. The silver dollars produced a year later, for example, can be found easier and, as a result, are of lower value. The older silver dollars could cost much more, but for their very poor condition. Being a rarity Another criterion that influences the price of a silver dollar is how rare it is. A number of silver dollars are rarities, but the rarest silver money known is the 1804 silver coins that are also among the most high-priced silver money in the world. Their exceptional value can be explained by the fact that they were believed to be the only coins minted in 1804. Some years later, other silver coins turned out to have been minted in the same year but erroneously dated 1803. The changes were never made due to significant expenses associated with the procedure. It was decided to coin a limited number of the 1804 silver dollars in the year of 1836. 15 pieces were allegedly coined. The coins were designated for representatives of overseas states & VIPs, but not for circulation. One of the Silver dollars coined in 1804 came onto the monetary market in 1999 and was priced at Four million dollars. Among other of high value silver coins are 1891, 1891, 1893 CC Morgan Silver Dollars and the 1928 peace silver dollar. They are of particular interest to possessors of coin collections and are most frequently looked for. You may find their cost on the Internet. There are a large number of sites that provide this sort of information. There you will also find a price-list of other silver dollars that are less expensive but are of interest to collectors as well.
