Selling Morgan and Peace silver dollars in Blacksburg

NRV Jewelry & Coin Buyers evaluates U.S. silver dollars, including Morgan and Peace dollars, at its Blacksburg office. The design, date, mint mark and condition help a buyer identify the coin. Two dollars with the same date can be different issues.

Is my 1921 silver dollar a Morgan or a Peace dollar?

Both designs were struck in 1921. Turn the coin over. On the Morgan dollar, the eagle’s wings spread upward above a wreath. On the Peace dollar, the eagle rests on a rock with the word PEACE below it. That’s a useful first distinction when the date alone gives you two possibilities.

What should I look at before coming in?

Write down the date and any lettering on the holder. Look for a mint mark on the reverse. If you don’t see one, leave that line blank. A missing mint mark can be normal. Keep a certified coin in its labeled holder and bring any original Mint packaging. The U.S. Mint also produces modern Morgan and Peace dollars, so a familiar design can appear on a much newer coin.

Is my silver dollar worth more than its silver content?

It can be. The issue and its condition matter to collectors. A photo of a similar-looking dollar or an online asking price can’t establish the value of yours. Leave the surface as you found it and ask Matthew what he sees on your specific coin. There’s no need to clean it or break open a holder before bringing it in.
