What is a morgan silver dollar worth?

Just curious. What is one of these things worth anyways?

depends completely on the grade of silver used, the condition of the coin, the rariety of it, all kinds of stuff....but i dont see how this has anything to do with secret societies.

You didn't do an hours worth of searching. I just posted this.

your right it was only about 15 min. but it sure seemed like an hour....but you still fail to answer what this has to do with secret societies and why you call this a "morgan" coin.

It is a Morgan Head silver dollar. They can be called Liberty heads but the more popular is Morgan Head Dollar. I think a guy by the name of Morgan designed the coin itself. I have a few in my collection.

The date.

Morgan silver dollars were minted between 1878 and 1921, with a notable break between 1905 and 1920.

15 minutes? Are you daft.
I took 5 seconds and searched it up on Ebay
search.ebay.com...
about 13-50 dollars (American)

Edit: there are naturaly a few notable exceptions, such as this one
cgi.ebay.com... m
it's marked at $1,600 (it's a set of 8 mind you)

Hey while we are on the subject, I have a coin...



The minting of token was illegal in 1799 and a few private mints made them anyway, but it has made finding anything out about this coin damned near impossible. Its a 1799 Coventry Half-Penny, the back has an Elephant, a common enough coin but not that year. If I told you how we found it you would call me crazy. Is it worth anything?

Also I think the original poster is perhaps making reference perhaps to Columbia?

Edit: Crap that image is huge, sorry about that. Can we resize it without screwing up my upload points somehow?

Hmmm, I would have said it was only worth $1.

Perhaps I missed something?

Statue of Liberty visitors can access these areas:
1. PROMENADE
2. OBSERVATORY

3. The Statue's crown and torch are not open.

On ebay they were selling some old I think penny with an all seeing eye design anyone ever seen it?

Early masonic UK half pence





More to do nothing with the topic or forum I really like those patinum liberty coins. Why are they called dime or five dollar gold pieces when they are sold for a crap load more?

How can I get a platinum liberty coin from the mint when they come out and how much would they charge? I remember when the new quarters come out everyone can get one for free somehow due to dealer hogs? Correct me if I am wrong I am just blabbin now

Platinum coin

First you're talking about coins, and then this. Why? i think you're just some random guy trying to find conspiracy in any and everything and that you're full of it. I mean c'mon this is the Secret Societies section, not the what's this coin worth section. Then you go completely off your own topic to the crown and torch of the statue of liberty. I've seen some of your other posts too. I'm pretty sure you've probly broken some rules of the forum and I dont understand why some mods dont block you out already.

Something crafted over a hundred years ago can be worth quite a bit more than face value to a collector, especially if made in limited quantities (like most coins).

I still fail to see what this, or the cryptic bit about the statue of liberty has to do with this forum.

Old coins are valued on just a few simple guidelines:

1) Rarity
2) Desirability among collectors
3) Condition of the coin
4) Precious metal content
5) Any unique proved storyline of the coin (such as a Presidential gift to a foreign leader)


I think that's it.

Most Morgan dollars are relatively common and don't sell for much more than the worth of their silver content, although rare dates and/or mint marks could raise the value dramatically.

Ya I think that's it.

Morgans are fairly common aren't they.

As a matter of fact they are so common that it would be impossible to even guesstimate who might have one, with a unique storyline, or where they may all be located.

How could you ever differentiate between a common coin, that is valued for it's silver content or collectibility, and one that has a unique storyline?

Or maybe a single morgan is just really old money.

Sure, as with any currency.

I have at least a hundred Morgans tucked away in a safe deposit box. My grandmother collected them, and later gave them to me... there is no official record of the 'transaction', my possession of them, or the disposition of them.

Well, the only way would be for some sort of certification, an affidavit of the storyline. These claims can be very hard to prove, so unless the cert is from a very credible source, I'd say buyer beware.
