Below is a prime example. A 1935-S MS66 Peace dollar is a true rarity.

We can’t be sure from the photo, but this may be a polished or cleaned coin. NGC has only graded 3 coins higher than MS66. A true MS66 1935-S coin would be worth $3500.

We would bid no more than $25 on this coin, mostly for the silver value.

The more you know about coins, and where to verify worth and condition, the farther your Proxibid dollar will go!
