The worth of a 1879 O silver dollar varies based on its condition and grade. As of October 2023, it typically ranges from around $30 for lower grades to several hundred dollars for higher-grade specimens.

1879 would make it a Morgan dollar, so the mint mark is located on the reverse (tails) side, near the bottom, just above the letters "do" in the word "dollar." No mint mark means it's from Philadelphia, S is for San Francisco, O is New Orleans, and CC is Carson City.

There are two things that you need to know about your coin to determine value. The first thing to look at is the mintmark, on a Morgan Dollar, it is above the D and O on the reverse of the coin under the wreath. It will either have a CC, O or S or perhaps even no mintmark. If it has a CC mintmark, it was minted in Carson City and worth more than average. If there is a O it was minted in New Orleans, an S means it was minted in San Fransisco and no mintmark means the coin was made in Philadelphia. Once you know that, you need to know the condition. Do not clean your coin cleaning your coin will only make your coin lose value. Coins in better condition sell for a lot more than barely recognizable coins which might only sell for their silver content. Without knowing those two things, it is impossible to tell you how much your coin is worth.
