Silver Dollar Values

Silver dollar values have traditionally moved with the spot price of silver since the inception of silver dollar minting in the United States. Only on coins with a numismatic appeal will the silver dollar values begin to shift away from the spot price of silver for the day. Morgan and Peace silver dollar values generally do not trade for more than their silver content when they are in a highly circulated state.

The main reason for determining the silver dollar values in this way, as opposed to evaluating the silver dollar values based on any coin collector appeal, is because there were so many millions that were minted and are still in existence. The silver dollar values of the Morgan and Peace varieties can fluctuate and move higher than the price of their silver content when specimens are found to be in a much higher condition and of a much lower mintage. Key dates or better dates in the Morgan and Peace silver dollar series can have silver dollar values that are considerably higher than the average silver dollar values. For example, the coveted 1879 CC and 1889 CC Morgan silver dollars can have silver dollar values that move into the several thousands of dollars if they are found to be in a brilliant uncirculated condition. A common misconception when dealing with the Eisenhower dollar, which came into circulation in 1971, is that they are silver dollars and and have silver dollar values comparable to that of the Morgan and Peace silver dollar values.

In fact, the Eisenhower dollars, or “Ike” dollars for short, are made of copper nickel, thereby negating any of the the silver dollar values present in the Morgan and Peace silver dollar. There are a few exceptions to this rule. In some proof sets and other limited proof releases, the United States mints did produce 40% silver Ikes. The silver dollar values for these coins will still be dramatically lower than that of the silver dollar values within the Morgan and Peace types simply because there is a significantly lower silver content in each coin.

For most of the silver Ikes, there is almost no numismatic appeal as these coins are not old enough or rare enough to command silver dollar values greater than just the silver content within each coin.

A.J. and Robert are so friendly and make it so you have the best deal with the items you bring them. They have so much knowledge about all the items they have in their shop and they like to teach others about what they know…

Really cool cats over at Nevada Coin and Jewelry. You would’ve thought that I was “Madonna” the way those guys treated me. I was so mesmerized by all of the antiques, they have in there, I believe I was there for two hours, just looking, unbelieveable! When I went in I was so hot, they offered me a cold bottle of water, how cool is that? It felt like home to me. I wanted to get a price for some old jewelry that was passed down by grandma, I was well satisfied. When I left the shop, I was singing “Money, Money, Money.

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to meet the owner and team at Nevada Coin and Jewelry. I didn’t know what to expect but they made me feel both comfortable and safe. I went through my collection of jewelry, both broken pieces and things I thought were of no value at all. They took the time to explain what each carat weight was worth and they helped me sort through my items. I was amazed at what they gave me for things I would never wear or use. I would recommend you stop in and speak to them, you might be as pleasantly surprised as I was.

I brought them some gold pendants, rings and a few other pieces. I knew they weren’t worth that much but I needed the cash. The guys (and there are a lot of them) were really nice and not the least bit condescending. They know when you come in to sell there is a reason but they don’t make you feel bad or inadequate. The store is filled with interesting objects for sale and for show. A very nice and very fair place to buy and sell. I highly recommend them.

A great selection of coins and other numismatic related material. Very professional.

Great family run store. I’m well taken care of every time I show up at this location. Thank you Nick.

My Aunt recently passed and she lived in the outskirts of Las Vegas. While my sister and I went through her estate we found a number of items that neither of us considered keeping, but our aunt was clear in her will that she wanted us to use her things to make a profit and in turn use that money to help our futures. We shopped around, especially not being from the area, and got a lot of negative experiences just on the phone. People were rude, uninformative, and really just gave us a feeling they wanted to rip us off. It made us think of those dirty pawn shops you “hear about”. Finally I called Nevada Coin and Jewelry and the whole day shifted! We described a few pieces of jewelry and they helped us figure out initially a general value based on the metal. Of course, they did explain the importance of actually coming in and examining the pieces individually. That level of service over the phone got us through the door. When we went to the spot we were greeted with the same level courtesy, but the professionalism when going over each item and it’s value was through the roof! They took the time to explain why each item was worth what amount and even gave us a little bit of history on the styles. At the end of the day, my sister and I walked away with a sizable amount of money to put towards my son’s college fund and my sister’s vet school. Thanks, Nevada Coin and Jewelry!

What inspired me to go to NV Coin and Jewelry was I was an ad on the TV for the shop. I was not too sure about going to NV Coin and Jewelry to sell my jewelry because I have been to many other pawn shops but haven’t found a good deal for my jewelry. After I went to Nevada Coin and Jewelry it was a big relief for me selling my jewelry for a good price.

After visiting a couple of the “traveling gold & silver merchants” who came to Mesquite, I made a call to Nevada Coin & Jewelry in Las Vegas… David was very helpful and professional. Their prices were the best I had seen… I left very satisfied with my trip and the deals we made. I will definitely go there again.
