AnswerCirculated 1886 silver dollars are relatively common among collectors except for high-quality coins minted in San Francisco or New Orleans.

Look on the back of the coin to see if there's a small mint mark letter above the DO in DOLLAR. It may be blank or there may be an O or S. (The M on the front of the coin is the designer's monogram and not a mint mark.)

Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 01/2011:

No mint mark (Philadelphia):

Very worn condition - $26

Moderately worn - $28

Slightly worn - $29

Almost no wear - $30

Uncirculated - $37 to $9,810 depending on quality

"O" mint mark (New Orleans):

Very worn - $26

Moderately worn - $28

Slightly worn - $30

Almost no wear - $119

Uncirculated - $630 to $531,250

"S" mint mark (San Francisco):

Very worn - $29

Moderately worn - $54

Slightly worn - $76

Almost no wear - $149

Uncirculated - $270 to $28,440

"E Pluribus Unum"All Morgan and Peace dollars carry that motto as do most other US Coins so that's not a distinguishing piece of information.

DISCLAIMER: The retail values quoted are the best available as of the date shown, but may vary significantly due to changes in the precious metals market. Also the wholesale (buying) price of a coin will be less than the selling (retail) price. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
