It depends on the year and condition. Common or well worn coins are only worth their silver content, which would be around $26 at current market prices. Coins in better condition are worth more, as are those with a more rare date or mint mark.
I can't see the coin but in my opinion $38.00 to $40.00 is a fair retail price for this Morgan.
On a circulated grade Morgan that is a common date, $25 is average retail price for buying a Morgan from a coin dealer. It isn't a bargain, but it is fair.
I would pay a dollar for a dollar, after all, it is only a dollar.
The Morgan Dollar is not gold. Since this is the most common date of all the Morgan Dollars, unless it is uncirculated it is worth only a little more than the value of the silver it contains (currently about $12). If it has been gold plated, a collector will only pay the silver value. try this site its useful http://gold-price-blog.info/
Because there are less of these coins than of others of that series. Since there are less collectors are willing to pay more.
A Morgan dollar contains 0.77344 Troy ounces of silver, or about 24.1 grams.The same alloy was used in all Morgan dollars - 90% silver, 10% copper. The coins weigh 26.73 gm when new.All Morgan dollars contain .77344oz of pure silver.
They are a dollar at the dollar store.
Depends on what you want to know for. Some collectors will pay more than the $15 you could get for the silver content. Technically the silver dollar is worth about $30, but not many will pay that much. Might be an anomaly on it somewhere which raises value. If you're talking about the Kennedy half dollar, it is worth half as much for the silver value, maybe 3/4ths of the silver dollar. Not worth much to a collector.
Sorry no US one dollar GOLD coins dated 1891, last year was 1889 That answer is not entirely correct. In 1891 silver dollars where minted. (Morgan Dollar) The coins weighs 26.73g and contains 90% silver. That means it contains 24.057 grams of silver. An ounce (about 31grams) is worth 21.80$ right now. So your coin is worth 16.91$. A coin collector might pay more. A gold buyer like P3MRefining.com will pay between 70 and 90%. The question is about GOLD coins.
Because silver prices change regularly any specific posted here would be out of date almost immediately. The best way to calculate it would be to check the current spot price of silver (kitco.com, CNNMoney, etc.) and multiply by 0.77 That's the retail value, of course. A jeweler or coin dealer will pay wholesale, maybe 60% of that, and one of those "We Buy Gold!!!!!" places will pay even less - perhaps 40% if you're lucky. Remember that any old coin should be checked for its value as a collectible which may be higher than its melt value. August 15, 2009 The melt value of a Morgan Dollar today is $11.36. As of today about $13.00
It is not a dollar but it is a silver coin. Find it in the pay phones to the far left, past Charlie's house.
