I inherited 2 morgan dollars from 1896. Have no clue what to do with them. Since I need money being unemployed, I was thinking of selling them to a pawn shop but I’m afraid I will be taken. Also your story reminds me of my father’s friend from Mexico. She came to the US to take her daughter to Disneyland in Los Angeles. Well she was using JFK half dollars for paying things there. She told my father everyone was happy when she was using it for transaction. I think I pretty know why they were happy. Some of those half dollars were from 1964..ouch. Anyway I have inherited my father and mother coin collection including mine that I started and have no clue what the hell to do for fear of being taken.
Morgan dollars are quite common. Only a few years/mints are very valuable, and that depends on their condition. It’s doubtful they are uncirculated, so your max value may be $175 for an excellent San Fran. Otherwise a rough estimate is $35. You’re not going to be royally gyped. Except any dealer is looking to sell it, so they’ll undercut just to make a profit.
