Please see the Related Question for collector values by grade and mint mark

The 1887 Morgan Silver Dollar was minted in one of three mints the quantities shown below:

* Philadelphia San Francisco New Orleans

20,290,710

1,771,000

11,550,000

The price is set in two ways the intrinsic value of the precious metal in the coin. The Morgan dollar is 90% silver/10% copper. With the (ASW) actual silver weight in troy ounces - being .7736 troy ounces and varies with the price of the metal. For current values see a site such as coinflation.com.

Second depending on many factors such as the condition of the coin, the rarity of the coin and how bad someone wants that particular coin the price will vary radically.

The price of your coin cannot be determined without first determining the condition of the coin and the mint from which it came - determining the how many of that coin were minted determines how rare the coin maybe. A coin minted in San Francisco is worth more than a coin minted in Philadelphia.

Always check with multiple sources when determining a sale price it can very greatly.

Update: August 19th, 2012 According to the price of Silver the Melt value of the coin has almost doubled on August 17, 2012 5:15 PM EDT precious metal price:

Silver $28.04/oz -0.13
