1891 Morgan Silver Dollar



Although the 1891 Morgan Silver Dollar has a mintage of 8,693,556, it can be a nice find for collectors. The quality of this coin stinks, with an average strike and bad luster. Nice coins in higher grades are hard to find and can be worth a ton of money. The 1891 Morgan Silver Dollar Proof was a mintage of 650 and finding a good coin could be difficult. In MS-60, the 1891 Silver Dollar is worth $50 and then the value goes up around $40,000 in MS-67 due to the rareness of finding a coin in this grade. The value of the Proof 1891 however, is about average even though it has a low mintage. A PF-60 is worth a bit more than a $1,000, while a PF-67 will go for about $20,000, maybe a little more. VAM-2 and VAM-2A are the coins to look out for as with these coins the ear is doubled and VAM-2A has a die break that resembles a mustache.
