What is the value of an 1897 silver dollar?

Answer 1

First you need to check the back, above the "DO" in DOLLAR, for a mintmark. There may be a small "O", "S", or "CC" there. There may also be nothing there. In average circulated condition, with a "CC" mintmark, it's worth $70-$75. With any other (or no) mintmark, it's worth $8-$10 In almost uncirculated condition, with a "CC" mintmark, it's worth about $150. With any other (or no) mintmark, it's worth $15-$25 An uncirculated coin will be worth about $250 with a "CC" mintmark, $100 with an "O" mintmark, or $35 with an "S" (or no) mintmark.
