Question
I have recently found in an old safe an 1885 silver dollar. Not
being any kind of collector I don't know how to grade it but it is
in a plastic holder and looks like it might be uncirculated.  Also
in there was an 1889 silver dollar in pretty dirty shape but not
scratced to bad . Both of these have a liberty head on the front
and eagle on the back. I see no other markings other than the e
pluribus unum.  Can you tell me if they are worth anything.  
Thanks  Bill

Answer
Dear Bill. The value depends on how new or used the coin is. If you send me photos of each coin front and back I will tell you the value, otherwise if I have to guess the new one is $15 and the used on is $6. Send me the pictures, its free. nsberman@msn.com . Regards. N.
