What kind of dollar is it? depending on condition and mint,about28-160$
The first year of issue for a Morgan dollar was 1878 please look at the coin again.
The first Morgan dollar was coined in 1878, a US dollar coin dated 1797 is a Draped Bust dollar. If you actually have a dollar coin dated 1797, take it to a coin dealer for an accurate assessment.
The most common type of 1878 Morgan sells for $17.00-$30.00 in circulated grades
about 1/2 a million dollars
The coin is actually a MORGAN dollar that's also very common, average values of circulated coins are $35.00-$43.00.
$100 to $265,000 depending upon the condition and mint mark of the coin.
Circulated coins are $17.00 to $30.00 and it's a Morgan dollar not an E PLURIBUS UNUM coin.
The denomination of the coin is a DOLLAR not a POUND and is referred to as a Morgan dollar. The coin is common and has retail values of $17.00-$26.00
Of the 4 types of 1878 Morgan Dollars the values for the coins are about the same for circulated examples $17.00-$55.00 depending on grade and type.
What kind of coin? Dime, quarter, half dollar, dollar, trade dollar? Can you find a small mint mark (S, O, CC) on the back? Please post a new and more detailed question.
The value of any antique coin depends on the condition the coin is in, the mint of the coin (as in Carson City, Delaware, etc.) and the current market for the coin. However, my coin book states that for an 1878 gold Half Eagle, you could get anywhere between $85 and $175.
