Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Any coin collectors?

You are partially correct, they were made from 1878 to 1921, but the United States Mint started making them again in 2021 for the 100 year anniversary.
The USMint made them in three different varieties this year uncirculated, proof and reverse proof. from 1878 to 1921 they were made from 90% silver, the 2021 up is 99.9% silver.
Also the OP's coin has no mint mark meaning it was made at the Philadelphia Mint

Bad or good made at Philly?

You have a very common 1921 Morgan. worth around $25-30 P marked are the most common.

My dad got these coins when my grandfather died. I told him today, worthless or not, there is a reason why he kept them.

I was just curious. Didn't know some here would make a soap opera out of it

To the ones that actually helped on info. Thank you

Same as these.

@OP, Cool coin. Enjoy your time with your dad.

My dad had a small metal tray (8"x10" +/-) with compartments that he used to collect coins. Had subway tokens, coins from Philippines and Japan from his time in the Navy during WWII. Also, all sorts of old silver U.S. coins, including at least one three cent piece. Nowhere to be found when he passed. Assuming one of the relatives made off with it while I was living in PA. As above, purely emotional attachment for me. But expect whoever made off with it cashed it out. I hate thieves.

Morgan Dollars are bad luck. I’ll PM you my address so you can send it to me and I’ll dispose of it for you.

A junk silver dollar will fetch $25-30 on eBay, or $75 at a local estate auction. People around here are strange.

Last auction I went to, I bought a bag of silver half dollars for $7 each. All the silver dollars went for $75 each.

I've been saving Silver Dollars for about 70 years, had over 100, but have started to gift them to my kids and grandkids.
Pictured is what I have left.
This year for their Stocking Stuffer I'm giving my three son's what's shown in the middle of the picture. New Silver Proof Morgan from the mint plus two old Morgans, 1878 & 1921. (First year and last year they were made) I already gave them the Silver Proof of the Peace Dollar (2023 along with an original 1923.

My local pawn shop occasionally gets someone in selling him their silver dollars, Peace and Morgans. He must get them for a song, because he then puts them in the glass case for $20.00 apiece. That's what I paid for those pictured above, and for these below.

I love silver coins. I need to find a silver Ike that someone has opened from the wrapper, I have several but no way I’m opening them.

I sold my small collection this past summer.

Son in law Chris is.

$crooge McDuck is.

Kinda looks a little off there are a lot of fakes out there

I am usually a buyer at $20. Probably at $25 right now.

Back in the early 60's when they started making the "wafer" quarters, you could still get Franklin halves, silver quarters, Mercury dimes and Buffalo nickels. Curious, I began to hang onto some of them.
I'm not a "numismatist" by any means, but I was able to hang onto about $15 (face value) in silver coins.
Working a construction job back in the 70's. A general foreman was watching our crew set a big pump motor. During a pause, i noticed him clinking some coins in his hand. He had five Franklin halves.
The rest of the crew laughed at me because i paid him $5 for the five of them!
I still have all five! They're worth about $15/ea!
Found a trophy somebody threw in tgevtrash. It was an acrylic block with a silver dollar embedded in the back. Hit it one time with a hammer and the 1923 silver dollar popped out on my hand!

Forget which years, but two or three years of nickels contain silver.

The “war nickels”. 1942-1945 I think. They weren’t even half silver, but did contain some.

Not all 42’s but some, 43-45 were. They have a large mint mark above Monticello on the back and contain 35% silver.
