The Morgan dollar was struck from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921. Each contains 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver (90% of its 26.73 g weight), so its melt value moves directly with the silver spot price. Common-date, well-worn Morgans often trade near melt, but key dates and mint marks — and any coin in high grade — carry a collector premium well above metal.
Frequently asked questions
How much silver is in a Morgan dollar?
A Morgan silver dollar is 90% silver and contains 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver. Multiply that by the current silver price shown above to get its melt value.
Are Morgan dollars worth more than melt?
