What's the value of an 1879 Morgan silver dollar?

Answer 1

Assuming the coin is circulated and has no mintmarks, the 1879 Morgan is a common date. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Most coins of this year have seen heavy use and show a lot of wear. In general retail values for low grade coins are $32.00-$33.00, better grade are $34.00-$35.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $36.00-$39.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched or have been cleaned have far less value if any to a collector or dealer.
