What is the value of an BU 1878 CC Morgan Silver Dollar?

Answer 1

The BU designation does not mean much. It is best to have coins professionally graded. That being said, the Carson City silver dollars are a great mint and that is a good year. A "brilliant uncirculated" could mean a variety of grades, but should qualify for at least a MS60 and go up from there. An MS60 can fetch $210.00 and an MS65 can go for $1810.00 so you see, it's best to get the coin "slabbed," or graded by a professional grading service. This will cost about $100.00 and can be done through your local coin shop.
