They start at $26 on up for the peace dollars $35 up on the Morgans depending on how they grade. Go to Ebay coin sales and you can get a pretty good idea.

Mid 20's minimum. Depends on the grade prices go up from there. Scap value around 20 right now. Its just who you end up selling to.

They have about $20.50 worth of silver in them. Here in South Central PA they are available for $30 and up depending on the conditions and the year made. From what I can see yours's should retail for $35 or so.

Pretty well summed it up.

Saskbone, no Canadian silver? I love Canadian silver dollars.

I agree with this.

The Morgan looks to be in nice condition. Could be in the $50 range. Hard to judge by pic.

I had a bunch I bought at about $11-13 each at auction 20 years ago. Wish I could find them...they seem to have disappeared.

Lots of Canadian silver dollars that my dad saved when he was a kid. Lots of 50 cent pieces to. These were found randomly in boxes of my grandpas that I’m going through. I’ll have to post sone pics of them next time I get them out.

Modern minted silver dollars? There is no such thing.

They are worth a dollar.

The biggest fraud perpetuated on our people was when they took the value out of our money.

Modern “silver “ dollars are not silver. They are worth face value = $1.00.

I should clarify, I have some Eisenhower dollars that are 40 percent silver. They were minted for collectors sets and were not intended for circulation. They are out there circulating but very few. If someone did have one the melt value is 8.25.

As it is, those of us under I'd say sixty years of age. didn't really know what a true silver dollar was unless someone educated us to the fact. We always and still do call the Eisenhower's "silver dollars" but they are copper/nickel like the rest of modern coins.

You should take them to a LICENSED, REPUTABLE coin dealer . . . or learn to be a numismatist.

Some people will pay more than face value for Ike clads because they're not seen very often. Some Army officers use them as pseudo "commander's coin" and give them out to the troops for jobs well done.

Some of the Eisenhower bi-centennials are worth a little.

Tell you what, if those are Grandad's coins, they are priceless.

I wouldn't sell them.

They are. Silver eagles have a $1 denomination. Different years typically have different prices at coin shops. Older cost more.

Currently, MOST reputable coin shops are paying above spot price on pre-1964 silver coins, as well as Silver Eagles, Maple Leafs, and many others.
