One of the best coins in the Morgan Dollar series is the 1897-S Morgan Silver Dollar. The 1897-S has mintage of 5,825,000 and it is easy to find in higher grades. The dollar has great luster along with strong strikes, making it very desirable. All this coin needs is a valuable VAM and it would be perfect. Unfortunately, it does not have that. In MS-6o, the 1897-S Morgan Silver Dollar is worth around $60 or so and then it reaches its maximum value of about $30,000 at MS-68.
