    Coins - Value
    Recently my mother has passed away and left me quite a bit of coins. Since I am not a coin collector I am not sure as to where to even start. I have one coin in from of me that I will ask about now. But because I have so many I am unable to lsit them all here. The one I have currently with me is 1880 SILVER DOLLAR - FRONT SAYS "E. PLURIBUS. UNUM" - The rear side of the coin says " United States of America" and "In God we trust" Under the wreath it has a Zero 0. I would like to know what the value mat be. It is currently in a coin jacket and is very GREAT shape.

    please email me @ [email protected] with any other questions. Thank you for any and all help you may be able to offer.

    A Lost Coin Soul,
    Caesar
