What is the silver value of a us silver dollar?

Answer 1

Short answer: At least one dollar, but possibly much more.

There are several different types of US "silver dollars" -- more information is needed.

For Eisenhower dollars (1971 through 1978) the ones from circulation did not contain any silver even though people mistakenly call them silver dollars -- they're worth about $1.10 apiece.

As for Morgan and Peace dollars (1870's through 1930's), it could be anywhere from about $30 for a common date poor condition coin (silver value), to thousands of dollars for a nice rare date coin. More information is needed to give any kind of evaluation -- date, mintmark, condition.

Then there are the silver bullion dollar coins minted from 1986 to present. These coins were never put into circulation, although it's possible someone could accidentally spend one for face value. Like other coins, their collectible value depends on date and condition, although most of these are found in high Mint State or high Proof conditions.

Older dollar types will be worth significantly more, but exact details of the coin would be necessary for an evaluation.

You need to post a new question with more information - the date, condition, and mint mark are the most important factors in determining a coin's value. Without that information it's not possible to provide any evaluation.

Not nearly enough information.

Post a new question with the coin's date and mint mark.

Simply put about $30, but it could be worth a lot more depending on date and condition. An average circulated Silver Dollar coin is worth about the silver content.

Answer #1

A true silver dollar dated 1935 or earlier contains about 24 gm of silver, so its silver is worth about 0.77 times the current price of an ounce of silver bullion.

BUT - - - most silver dollars are worth more to collectors than for their metal content. Sometimes not much, but enough that it's generally a very bad idea to sell them to one of those "we buy gold and silver" places that have been popping up all over the country.

Answer # 2

since the pre 1935 silver dollars have a bit less than an oz of silver and silver goes for about $19/oz, the value of the silver dollars is about $15/coin, BUT if you take a silver dollar to a coin dealer I doubt you will be offered any more than $10 or $12 unless the coin has some numismatic value.

If you have 10 or 20 pounds of pre 1964 US silver coins, you will get closer to the bullion value of the coins
