What is the value of an 1893 US silver dollar?

Answer 1

1893 is one of the scarcest dates for Morgan dollars, so it's extremely important to have your coin inspected by an expert to make sure it's not a fake, especially if it has an S or CC mint mark. The mint mark position is on the back, above the DO in DOLLAR. It may be blank or there may be a CC, O or S.
