How much is a 1882 Morgan silver dollar?

Answer 1

Morgan dollars were minted for spending rather than investment, unlike modern Walking Liberty "eagle dollars". Morgans also don't contain 1 oz of silver. They were made of 0.7734 troy oz, plus a small amount of copper for hardness. The reason for the strange amount is that it was the amount of silver that was worth $1 at the time the coins were in circulation.
