Raw Silver Contained In US Morgan Dollars In each Morgan silver dollar, there is approximately .77344oz of Pure Silver, meaning the coins are worth a fraction under spot value for silver at any given moment. However Mogan silver dollars have collector value because some of the rare mintage and mints that were used to make these coins during the late 1800's. Grading/Condition Explanation The value above take into account that collectors are very picky about condition of a coin, especially highly collectible ones like Morgans. Just a minor difference in grade (ie MS-60 to MS-64) can be a large difference in price. Make sure if you have any of these coins, that you take very good care of them because the better the condition - the more collectors will pay for them. Companies like PCGS and NCG grade coins & encapsulate them, but you can visit a coin expert and they can give you a similar opinion. MS 60 - 64 = Mint State or Uncirculated. The coin should appear like it's brand new. Most of the coins you will find in jars or in circulation will be in the VF (or less) range, and will have very little collector value over the scrap price for the silver in most cases. People have been collecting coins for a long time, and with mintage often in the millions - plenty of mint coins still exist for all but the most rarest of Morgan silver dollars. In most cases, when the mintage is less than around 1,000,000 coins - even coins in VF condition can often be worth 2x - 3x (or more) times the value. Collectors sometimes pay a premium for coins that are graded in different PCGS holders. The company has been grading coins for a long time, and you will see premiums paid for some of old PCGS holders. Unless you are a serious collector, paying these premiums is probably unwise unless you have a reason to pay a premium for the older cases. The Carson City mint is responsible for many of the most valuable Morgan silver dollars on the market. For the most part, the quantity produced was always quite a bit lower than the other mints producing the coins during the same year. Finding any Carson City Morgan silver dollar (especially in good condition) is truly a great find. The United States mint stopped producing the coins in 1904, but again resumed with the last of the "Morgan" dollar coins in 1921. The same year, a new design were minted from 1921 - 1935 and are referred to as the "Peace" dollar coins. |
