Anyone know about silver dollars?

Pics needed

Assuming the 1891 dollar is not a "CC" and is circulated it is probably worth $20-30 today depending on how much wear is present.

Assuming the two 1976 Bicentennial Dollars are also circulated copper-nickel coins they would just be worth face value.

Guess poster didn't like us

Unless the 1891 dollar is in especially bad shape, it should be worth a minimum of $30.

The poster has only one silver dollar. It may not be worth the effort and expense to find the $30 buyer. Too many collectors fail to take selling costs into consideration. In these days of expensive gasoline (and cars) just think of how much it costs to travel a given distance.

It might not be worth the effort. However, either way, it’s better that he at least has the information at his disposal.

Confused.
Are we evaluating or valuing ?
I hope these words console.

Edited to add: I hope these photos assist in evaluating yours.

In the meantime, for starters you can self-evaluate your silver dollars by comparison: https://www.pcgs.com/photograde#/Dollars

A little OT -
Thanks for that link (and the root - https://www.pcgs.com/photograde#/). Another thing I learned since I've been posting here.
(Along with meaning of "newp", "b/m", "TPG" ... which threw me cuz I'd abbrev it 3PG - in code we have references to "3rdParty" content.)
Now that I'm pretty much thru with my proof coins from the 80s to 2021, and on to whats new from late 2021 to now, starting to eye some old raw coins I collected some decades ago when I 1st started. That helps with attempting a grade for approximate value when submitting.

This assumes you are submitting... is that an integral part of your plans?

Not 100% sure what you're asking, but ... getting the old raw coins graded is not set in stone. Theres a few 1800s and early 1900s that I wasnt going to have done, but seeing what others seem to have had graded, I may put an order together and send in at some point in the future. They're not in that fantastic of shape, and not entirely sure they'd be "details" either (have not had experience with that - yet). But it may be good to see what they'd grade at, and have them slabbed.

Still, gotta settle down after the several thou $ I put in on the "big push" (getting PCGS graded) of my proof coins over the last couple of years.

Just wondering. Many would say that it isn't worth having coins slabbed if the coins aren't worth at least $100-$200. That because slabbing coins worth less than that won't increase their resale value more than the cost of grading.

Others aren't so worried about profit, and want e.g. a matching set of slabbed coins in their collection.

Still others just like the guarantee of authenticity.

Ah, yes, I see, gotcha. Kinda what I thought.
In my case, I got the grading "bug" and went all-out with all of my proofs, to maybe help my next o'kin (nieces - NOT collectors at all) when they get them, and may want to get rid of them.
But yes, these older raw coins I may just drop some $ on them, just to satisfy my curiosity maybe - and have them authenticated and graded. Even tho it may not be worth it in the long run. I'll have to be more selective about which ones I want to submit. The real old ones (I had for decades) are kinda interesting and may want to preserve them in a slab.
Its kinda the approach when I sent in my 2019-W quarter I got in change. I may have just broken even (more likely, not) between grading fees and its value.

I have't sent in anything for grading myself, but the other common wisdom is, the experience of having your coins slabbed will greatly refine your own grading skills (if you compare your expectations to reality)
