Best Answer

For starters you need to know the coin's date, condition, and mint mark, and finally whether it's actually made of silver. In addition you have to know if it's a dollar minted for spending or a so-called Silver Eagle bullion coin; "eagle" pieces carry an artificial $1 denomination but were made for investors and not for use in commerce.

Once you have that information you need to consult a resource such as the Red Book, PCGS, or Numismedia that will give values sorted by those conditions.

"Liberty dollar"FWIW there's no US coin just called a "Liberty Silver Dollar". All US dollar coins minted since 1794 have either an image of Miss Liberty or the word Liberty on them, and are identified by their particular design.

What is the value of a 1924 liberty standing silver dollar?

Are you sure this is a 1924 standing liberty silver dollar? All my resources tell me there were no standing liberty silver dollars minted in 1924. The peace silver dollar was the coin minted in 1924. There were no standing Liberty dollars. The quarter issued from 1916 to 1930 bears the standing Liberty design, and the half issued from 1916 to 1947 bears the walking Liberty design. No, there is no running Liberty design, LOL!

What is the value of a 1921 Liberty silver dollar?

Two types of silver dollars were issued in 1921, a Morgan dollar and a Peace dollar. The easy way to tell the difference is on the reverse (back) of a Peace dollar the eagles wings are folded, on the Morgan they are spread out. Post a new question after you find out which one you have. The values are very different.
