That’s a great question! Depending on date and condition, your Morgan Silver Dollar could be $12, or it could be $2,200,000! Spoiler alert: it’s much more likely to be $12. But you never know…

How Much is My Morgan Dollar Worth?
Morgan Silver Dollars – some of the most popularly collected coins on the planet. Some of these are worth many thousands of dollars, some many hundreds. But not all Morgan Dollars are worth a lot of money. How Much is Your Morgan Dollar Worth?

We’ll get into more detail, but we offer a service for a small fee through our website PriceThatCoin.com that will answer your questions with extreme accuracy.

Rarity

Most authentic, common date Morgan Silver Dollars are worth between $12 and $32. I say authentic because there are tons of counterfeits! And fake Morgan Dollars have been around since the Mint started making them in 1878, so don’t think just because you know the history of your coin going back 50 years it’s surely not fake. That said, common date Morgan Dollars in average circulated grade are extremely common. The Mints made tens of millions of these silver coins, and it’s illegal to melt them because they’re United States currency. (That doesn’t mean people didn’t melt them, sometimes they did. But they’re still common.)

Condition

Most common date Morgan Dollars are in what numismatists (coin nerds) call Uncirculated, or Mint State condition. Most of them were minted, put in bags, and stored in Mint or bank vaults for decades. Because uncirculated coins are numismatically common, average circulated common date coins (coins that were minted in high numbers by a given U.S. Mint at Philadelphia, San Francisco, Carson City, or New Orleans) do not have considerable value.

Here are various Morgan Dollars of varying condition and value. Some look like they're not worth much, but are. Some look like they could be worth a lot, but aren't. Which are which?
Here are various Morgan Dollars of varying condition and value. Some look like they’re not worth much, but are. Some look like they could be worth a lot, but aren’t. Which are which? We know. And we’re here to help.

Value

That said, there are uncommon dates and there are common date coins in uncommon condition. While we can’t get into the value of every Morgan Silver Dollar in every condition, we’ve given you a list of which ones are worth looking into.

If you are a master coin authenticator and grader, below are lists of which Morgan Dollars to look out for. If not, you can submit your Morgan Dollar to us. We’ll be able to determine with high probability if the coins are authentic, have problems, and in a grade that makes them worth money. Send your coin to PriceThatCoin.com today, find out all about it.

If your coin is on the Common Morgans list, it’s probably not worth spending the money to get it certified. If you think your coin is in spectacular condition, it could be worth something. Use our service over at PriceThatCoin.com to submit excellent pictures of your Morgan Dollar to us, and we’ll give it a thorough look.

Also, all authentic Morgan Dollars were made with 90% silver. So they have their bullion value. About the least a problem Morgan Dollar should ever trade for is $10, unless the price of silver per ounce dips below $12. That said, that’s all it may be worth, so a coin shop might be forced to offer you less as coin shops are in business to make money, not do favors.

Not all problem Morgan Dollars are worth $10. Some are worth many thousands. When in doubt, have it checked out! We’d be happy to do it for you for a nominal fee. All you need is great pictures. Submit your Morgan Silver Dollar to PriceThatCoin.com.
