Morgan Silver Dollars
Coins from the Morgan Silver Dollar series have become some of the most popular to collect. Over the years, Morgan Dollars have held up as great investments. This is caused by the overwhelming amount of silver in each coin. A Morgan Silver Dollar has .77344 troy ounces of silver, which is over 24 grams per coin. The price of silver has gone up over the years making the Morgan Dollar worth much more than its origianl dollar value.
The Morgan Dollar was only minted in five different city mints. They included Philadelphia, Carson City, Denver, New Orleans, and San Francisco. You can find the mintmark between the "D" and "O" on the reverse side of the coin below the tail feathers of the eagle. The value of Morgan Dollars vary based on which mint they were produced. Coins from the Carson City mint hold the most value as it produced the lowest mintage amounts.
