Question What is the value for an 1878 S one dollar coin.
Answer Hello Bess,
Coins are valued on a scale from 1 to 70.
Most circulated coins range from Good (grade-G4) to Almost Uncirculated (grade-AU50) on the scale. Only a strictly uncirculated coin can grade Mint State between 60 and 70.
Very Good (Grade-8) = $9.00
Fine (grade-12) = $12.00
Very Fine (grade-20) = $14.00
Extremely Fine (grade-40) = $17.00 and
Almost Uncirculated (grade-50) = $22.00
For mint state grades the coin value ranged from $30 to $200 dollars. For a specimen coin with no defects such as having been cleaned, dented, scratched etc...
These are from a recent published price guide. But they vary according to demand.
The 1878 San Francisco dollar is common with 9,774,000 made there that year.
Feel Free to ask for more information if you need it.
