Beat up 1800 silver dollar

I am very new at this, recently inherited a collection of few hundred coins. Most of the coin pictures shown in this forum are in great shape. Wondering if there are collectors out there looking for coins like this. Maybe a good rating, with big scratches. Price guides put low condition versions at close to $1,000 retail, but seems like a lot for this coin. Any opinions out there?

With the potential value of the silver dollar, submit with attribution to a TPGS.
Hard to tell with the blurry pics and through the plastic: 12 arrows, low 8, wide.
Even if it comes back with details; authentic is important.

What other coins from the inheritance do you have?
9 Morgan’s. The best one au but cleaned.
Sample quarters and 50c for several types from the 1800s. Higher grades with lots of great detail but mostly cleaned I’m learning. One or two may legit uncirculated. Still figuring that out.
20 cent piece
A few half dimes in good shape
An old dime
Two three cent pieces
One two cent piece
1802 cent well worn
1804 half cent well worn
3 legged buffalo in good shape but less than au.
other assorted Lower value coins from early 1900s
1722 British half penny
Plus a bunch of silver and nonsilver examples from Germany, Poland, and Russia.
Never met my great uncle. He collected, my dad inherited them a long time ago and never looked at them, now I’ve got em.
Definitely makes for an interesting world collection. The internet is a great source of information but a few books may help, if you haven’t already got them, here is a link to many different publications made by @Aspie_Rocco and added to by many forumites and stickied to the top of this US Coin forum.

Seems like a nice old collection... Definitely get the OP coin authenticated and slabbed....Post a picture of the 3 legged Buff... it may be just wear, but could be authentic. Cheers, RickO
Welcome and good luck. With rare dates and potential thousands in value I would send to get graded and checked for authentication.
Best place to buy !

Welcome to the forum. Please do place photos of the 3 leg buffalo and any significant dates of the 1/2 cents and cents. Then send them in to be certified as legitimate even if cleaned. Keep us informed and provide photos of all the interesting coins is you have the time.

Welcome to the forum and good luck. There's a wealth of knowledge here !!!
Three legger.
Bought for $50, not sure when ... probably in the 1960s(?)
Better pics of the dollar also attached
From a three-legged to another. Nice three buff @coinman999.
Cropped the reverse.
Your buffalo nickel is a genuine error (yet looks to have counting wheel damage on the obverse).
The 1800 bust dollar looks solid and should grade out problem free.

Thanks braddick. Would be great if you are right about the bust dollar. I am not sure what to think of the streaky discoloration on the obverse.
