Stare at it for three hours with out blinking and the answer WILL come to you. Hope this helps.
You can tell a coin is silver by either looking at the edge and finding it a uniform silver color (with no darker colors) or by finding a dime, quarter, half dollar or dollar with a date from before 1965. They now make silver versions of the dime, quarter and half, but only in proof sets.
If you have a Liberty Seated Dime, the "CC" mint mark will be on the reverse [tails] side of the coin at the bottom and can be either inside the wreath or just below it. If you have a Liberty Seated Quarter the "CC" mint mark will be on the reverse [tails] side of the coin at the bottom below the eagle. If you have a Liberty Seated Half Dollar the "CC" mint mark will be on the reverse [tails] side of the coin at the bottom below the eagle. If you have a Lbert Seated Silver Dollar the "CC" mint mark will be on the reverse [tails] side of the coin at the bottom below the eagle. If you have a Silver Trade Dollar the "CC" mint mark will be on the reverse [tails] side of the coin a the bottom just above the "D" in "DOLLAR" If you have a Morgan Silver Dollar the "CC" mint mark will be on the reverse [tails] side of the coin at the bottom below the wreath.
Well, you have got to tell what is in the proof set. Say that it was a nickel, dime,half dollar, and silver dollar, I'd say about $15, but $14 dollars of it from the silver dollar...~Kyle Michel~Very Experienced Coin Collector~VERY INCORRECT1977 Proof Sets were only issued in cupro-nickel clad composition. They don't contain any precious-metal coins. As of 01/2015 retail prices are in the $9 to $10 range.
The last silver quarters were minted in 1964.
you tell your parents
A "Carson City Morgan Dollar" is simply a Morgan dollar produced at the Carson City, Nevada, mint. Such a coin can be identified by the mintmark "CC" on the reverse of the coin, beneath the tail feathers of the eagle.
On a Morgan dollar, the mintmark should be located right below the center of the wreath, the minkmark is very small. if there is no mintmark, then it was minted in Philadelphia
It will have "CC" in the mint mark position, on the reverse side above the DO in DOLLAR.
Two different types of US silver dollars have the date of 1921 on them. This was the last year of issue for the Morgan dollar and the first year of the Peace dollars. An easy way to tell the difference is, on the reverse of the Morgan dollars the eagles wings are spread out. The Peace dollars have the eagles wings folded. Current market value of a low grade Morgan is $30.00. The Peace dollar is $65.00.
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.

A Morgan dollar would be dated 1878-1904 or dated 1921. If you've got a silver dollar dated 1878-1904 that does not say "Trade Dollar" on the reverse, you for sure have a Morgan dollar. In practice though trade dollars are infrequently found that date from the era of the Morgan Dollar. The only other possible overlap you have is 1921. The 1921 Morgan dollar is quite common and generally sells for bullion value even in the lowest grade. On the other hand the 1921 Peace Dollar is scarce and commands a large premium over melt value, even in lower grades. The easiest way to tell if you've got a 1921 Morgan vs. a 1921 Peace dollar is to look at the reverse of the coin. If the eagle has its wings outstretched, you've got a Morgan dollar. If the eagle is perched on a rock, you've got a Peace Dollar.
If it looks like it has any wear it's not. take it to a dealer or collector, most will grade it for you.
There are several different silver dollars depicting Liberty including the: Morgan dollar, Peace dollar, bust dollar, and Seated Liberty dollar, not including the numerous commemorative issues. Provide a year and the designer is easy to find, but without a year it is impossible to tell you who designed your specific coin.
Sorry, silver dollars don't have genders.
Could you tell us a bit more about this coin? I won't say for certain that no coins designed by Morgan were made in 1929, but the dollar coin that is named for him was not minted after 1921.
