Date and design.
Morgan dollars were struck from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921. They have a picture of Miss Liberty on the front and an eagle with spread wings on the back. The design is sort of "busy" and has a very old appearance to it.
Peace dollars were struck from late 1921 to 1935. They have a much more modern look, with the word PEACE on the back and an eagle with folded wings.

∙ 14y agoThere are Morgan dollars and there are Peace dollars but they're not the same. It's a bit like asking about a "Ford Chevrolet". The good news, though, is that they're both made out of the same amount of metal:
In "new" condition each weighs 26.73 grams and is 90% silver. Thus, silver content is 24.05 grams. One troy oz is 31.10 grams. Thus, there is 0.77 troy oz of silver per dollar.

∙ 11y agoThere are a couple easy ways. Firstly, the Trade dollar features a seated woman, while the Morgan dollar is only a face. Another way is to check the date. Trades were minted 1873-85, while Morgans were 1878-1904, and again in 1921. So, anything before 1878 is Trade, and anything after 1885 is Morgan.
