What is the value of an 1882 silver dollar?

Answer 1

1882 is not a rare date for Morgan dollars. In circulated condition, it's worth about $16.

However, if it has a "CC" mintmark (on the back, above the "DO" in DOLLAR), this is a rarer date and will be worth about $75-100 in circulated condition.

Other mintmarks are common in lower grades, but scarcer in Mint State and the finest examples go up to $4000.
