I have some 1979 SBA dollars. I'm not a coin collector, so can someone
tell me if they are worth more than $1? I also have some silver dollars of the 1979's, Kennedy half dollars, and more recent "gold-colored" dollar coins. Are any of these worth more than face value? If so, how can I sell them? |

For the most part, SBA's would be worth face value. The exception is the
1979-P (Philadelphia mint) wide rim near date coin which sells at a good premium. To see the difference, look at my website http://coins.richlh.com/Coins/1979SB...Comparison.htm. The U. S. didn't mint any silver dollars in 1979. If you're referring to the Eisenhower dollars which were minted from 1971-1978, most would bring face value or a small premium. The 1973 coins could command a premium and there are several varieties which are rare and would command a nice premium. These varieties are too numerous to list. There are also S-mint dollars that were made with a 40% silver clad alloy. These would be worth a premium. Kennedy half dollars were made from a 40% silver clad alloy from 1965-1970 and were 90% silver in 1964. These would be worth a premium because of the silver content. The PCGS website http://www.pcgs.com/prices/ gives an idea of the retail value of these coins. Dealers would pay less depending on the coin. -- Richard My coin Links: http://coins.richlh.com/Coins/MyCoinLinks.htm wrote in message ups.com... I have some 1979 SBA dollars.

Thanks. This is exactly the info I need. One site shows a premium for
SBA "BU". What does BU mean? |

tossed out the question:
...What does BU mean? That stands for "Brilliant Uncirculated." Just think of a coin that rolled out of the Mint on the day it was created and that's BU. Amistad 'however, some coins might be "butt ugly" |
