In 1921, the US Treasury minted both a Morgan and Peace Silver Dollar. Which type do you possess? Please provide to me the mint mark, mint state, and the type of coin, and I will subsequently relay to you its worth.
Also, NO U.S. circulating coin is pure silver. Silver is too soft by itself, and is always alloyed with copper. Silver dollars minted in 1935 and before are 10% copper.
it is a Morgan dollar, no mint mark
There is .77344 of a Troy ounce (a little than 24 grams) of pure silver in a 1921 U.S. silver dollar.
No. The US has never and will never make pure silver dollars.
The 1924 silver dollar is not pure silver. It is mixture of 90% pure silver and 10% copper.
No, nor are ANY U.S. silver coins pure silver. It's 90% silver with 10% copper.
A genuine 1795 dollar is silver, but it's not pure silver. The coin is a fake if it's not silver.
The Morgan dollar is named for its designer, George T. Morgan. They were minted from 1878 through 1904, then again for one year in 1921. As always, the value of a coin depends on its condition, its rarity, and sometimes its bullion value. The Morgan dollar contains .77344 oz of pure silver, and the value of silver changes from day to day. However, to a collector, the value of the silver content does not affect a coin's value as a collectors item. I looked online to see what 1921-S Morgans are selling for and they range from $50 in Fine condition to $60 in about Uncirculated.
There can't be a pure silver 1965 dollar. No silver dollars were minted after 1935, and in any case pure silver is too soft for circulating coins. They all contained at least 10% copper.
A 1921 Morgan silver dollar contains 90% silver and weighs approximately 26.73 grams in total. To calculate the amount of silver in the coin: 90% of 26.73 grams = 24.06 grams of silver. So, a 1921 Morgan silver dollar has about 24.06 grams of silver.
The Morgan series ended in 1921. Your coin is a Peace dollar. In any case, both Morgan and Peace dollars contain .77344 oz of pure silver.
The entire series of Morgan dollars (1878-1904 & 1921) all contain .77344oz of pure silver in each coin.
All Morgan and Peace dollars have the same silver content - 90%. The coins' nominal weight is 26.73 gm so that works out to about 24 gm of pure silver in each one.
All Morgan and Peace $1 coins were struck in an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper. The coins' nominal weight when new was 26.7 gm so that means they contain about 24 gm of pure silver.
