What Is Your Silver Dollar Worth?
U.S. silver dollar coins span more than two centuries of American history — from the Flowing Hair dollars of the 1790s to the Morgan and Peace silver dollars of the 19th and early 20th centuries, to the large copper-nickel Eisenhower dollars of the 1970s. The term "silver dollar" most commonly refers to Morgan dollars (1878–1921) and Peace dollars (1921–1935), both struck in 90% silver and containing .7734 troy ounces of pure silver per coin.
Most circulated Morgan and Peace dollars are worth their silver melt value plus a small numismatic premium — roughly $20–$40 depending on current silver prices and condition. Key dates and high-grade mint state examples can be worth hundreds to thousands. Use the tabs below to find values for any U.S. dollar series.

How much is a Morgan silver dollar worth today?
Most common-date Morgan dollars in circulated (Good to Very Fine) condition are worth $20–$40, reflecting a small premium over their silver melt value. Key dates like the 1893-S, 1889-CC, and 1879-CC command significantly more. Mint state Morgan dollars in MS-63 and above are worth $50–$200+ for common dates, with key dates worth thousands. The most valuable Morgan dollar is the 1895, a proof-only issue worth $50,000+. 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 generally have more key dates and higher price ceilings; Peace dollars are often easier to complete as a full date set.
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 and are worth $12–$20 in typical condition. High-grade uncirculated examples (MS-65+) of any Ike dollar can be worth $30–$150+ due to their large size and the difficulty of finding problem-free specimens. The 1972 Type 2 reverse is the most collected variety among specialists.
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 (150 reeds on a Morgan), 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 directly through eBay with PCGS/NGC attribution. Avoid pawn shops, which rarely pay numismatic value. Get multiple offers before selling any significant coin.
