How to Read This Silver Dollar Value Chart
Every price in these tables is a typical retail range for a problem-free coin, broken out by grade. G–VG covers well-worn coins where the design is outlined but most fine detail is gone. F–VF covers moderately worn coins that still show most of the major design elements. MS-60 and MS-63 are uncirculated coins with no wear at all, separated by how many bag marks and luster breaks they carry. For other denominations, our coin price guides cover everything from cents through gold.
For common dates, the biggest single factor is silver. Morgan and Peace dollars each hold .7734 oz of pure silver, so melt value sets a hard floor under the price of any circulated example. With silver in the mid-$60s per ounce in late September 2026, that floor sits right around $50 per coin, which is why common-date circulated dollars in the tables start there. Silver moves daily, so check the live melt calculator below before you buy or sell.
Key dates follow different rules. An 1893-S, 1889-CC, or 1928 Peace dollar is priced on scarcity rather than metal content, and the jump between grades can run into thousands of dollars. If you have a coin and aren't sure where it falls, our What's My Coin Worth guide walks through identifying the date, mint mark, and grade step by step.
Grading Silver Dollars: What the Grades Mean
Grading a silver dollar starts with the high points of the design, since those wear first. On a Morgan, look at the hair above Liberty's ear and the eagle's breast feathers. On a Peace dollar, check the hair strands over Liberty's temple and the feathers on the eagle's leg. Flat, smooth high points mean a circulated coin; the more detail that's missing, the lower the grade.
Uncirculated coins are separated by surface quality rather than wear. Silver dollars were bagged and shipped a thousand at a time, so nearly every Mint State example carries contact marks from other coins. An MS-60 may show heavy marks and muted luster, an MS-63 has fewer and smaller marks with better eye appeal, and MS-65 or higher coins look close to pristine. On many dates an MS-65 is worth several times the MS-63 price.
Cleaning is the most common value killer. A cleaned coin shows fine parallel hairlines and an unnatural, overly bright shine, and PCGS and NGC will label it "Details" instead of assigning a straight grade. Never polish or dip a silver dollar before it's been evaluated. For key dates, and for anything that looks uncirculated, third-party grading is usually worth the fee.
Live Silver Spot: Fetching.../oz × 0.7734 oz per coin
Silver Content by Series: Morgan & Peace dollars = .7734 oz pure silver each. Eisenhower dollars (1971–1978) = no silver in circulation strikes; 40% silver in collector editions (.3161 oz each). Susan B. Anthony (1979–1999) and Sacagawea/Presidential (2000–present) = copper-nickel, face value only in circulated grades.
GSA Morgan Dollars: In the 1970s, the U.S. General Services Administration sold hundreds of thousands of uncirculated Morgan dollars from Treasury vaults — primarily Carson City (CC) mint issues — in special government packaging. These GSA hoard dollars in original hard plastic holders with original envelopes command significant premiums. Never remove a CC Morgan from its GSA holder without checking current demand first.

Where to Buy Silver Dollars
One of the largest online bullion and coin dealers, with a wide selection of certified Morgan and Peace silver dollars across every grade tier.
Most common-date Morgan dollars in circulated condition sell for roughly $50–$65, because their .7734 oz of silver alone is worth about $50 at late-September 2026 spot prices. Common dates in MS-60 to MS-63 run about $70–$175. Key dates are a separate market: the 1893-S brings $4,000 or more even in Good, and the 1895 — struck only as 880 proofs — sells for $38,000+ even when worn. The series auction record belongs to an 1893-S graded MS-67, which sold for $2,086,875 at GreatCollections in 2021. For deeper coverage see our Morgan Silver Dollars guide.
What is the difference between a Morgan and a Peace dollar?
Both are 90% silver dollar coins containing .7734 oz of pure silver, but they differ in design, era, and collector profile. Morgan dollars (1878–1921) feature a classic eagle and Liberty head design by George T. Morgan — bold, detailed, and widely considered among the most beautiful U.S. coin designs. Peace dollars (1921–1935) feature a more modern, art-deco Liberty design by Anthony de Francisci. Morgan dollars have more key dates and much higher price ceilings; Peace dollars are easier to complete as a full date set. See our Peace Silver Dollars guide for the full series breakdown.
Are Eisenhower dollars worth anything?
Standard copper-nickel Eisenhower dollars (1971–1978) in circulated condition are worth face value — $1. The 40% silver collector versions (sold in blue and brown government packaging) contain .3161 oz of silver, about $20 in melt at late-September 2026 prices, and typically sell for $21–$35. High-grade uncirculated examples (MS-65+) of any Ike dollar can bring $30–$150+ because problem-free specimens are hard to find. The 1972 Type 2 reverse is the most sought-after variety. Our Eisenhower Dollar value chart covers every date and variety.
How do I know if my silver dollar is real?
Genuine Morgan and Peace dollars weigh 26.73 grams — a digital scale is your first tool. The coin should produce a clear, ringing tone when tapped. Counterfeit coins often weigh less or have a dull thud. Check for sharp details, correct edge reeding, and proper diameter (38.1mm). For high-value key dates, professional authentication by PCGS or NGC is essential — never buy an uncertified key-date Morgan dollar at significant cost.
Where is the best place to sell silver dollars?
For common-date circulated Morgans and Peace dollars, precious metals dealers typically pay 90–100% of silver melt value. eBay often returns slightly above melt when sold to collectors. For key dates, certified examples consistently bring the strongest prices at major auction houses like Heritage Auctions and Stack's Bowers, or through eBay with PCGS/NGC attribution. Avoid pawn shops, which rarely pay numismatic value. Get multiple offers before selling any significant coin.
What does the GSA hoard mean for a Carson City Morgan dollar's value?
GSA (General Services Administration) hoard coins are Carson City Morgan dollars sold directly by the U.S. government in the 1970s in special hard plastic holders with a black-and-white insert card. A CC Morgan still sealed in its original GSA holder typically commands a premium over the same coin graded raw, because the holder verifies an unbroken chain of custody back to the Treasury vaults. Breaking a coin out of its GSA holder to send it for third-party grading can reduce collector interest for some dates — check current market demand before removing one.
