silver dollar?
I found an 1882 silver dollar in excellent cond. in the sands of a wash in the Az. desert and it has no mint mark. I did find out that means it was minted in Philadelphia but how can I find out how much it is worth? The prices of these coins are so different.
First of all not all coin dealers are crooks. They need to make a profit to stay in business and feed their family. You knowing something about the coin you have, helps keep them honest, a dealer usually need to make a least 40%. Now a coin found in a wash can not be very high grade and must have some damage to it. It may be shinny, but that is from water or sand damage. It may have a lot of tiny scratches due to weathering. With a mintage of 11,100,000 it is not a scarce coin. Most of the time, I can give the person some of the things to look for, that makes a coin a certain grade, but in your case it won’t work, due to circumstances of you finding the coin, I would really have to see it. Anyway as a guesstimating of value, it could be from 7 to 8 times face value for the silver in it to, around $16 if it can reach a grade of extra fine. Values are about what a dealer would pay. It is actually worth more than money, as a really neat find. To bad it could not talk, for it must have an adventure to tell.
