<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 24620753, member: 27832&quot;]A dollar worth of newly-struck silver dimes, quarters, or halves contains 0.723 ozt of silver. A Morgan dollar, Peace dollar, or pre-2019 commemorative silver dollar contains 0.7734 ozt of silver. So $1 worth of silver dollar coins is equivalent to $1.07 worth of smaller silver change.</p><p><br /></p><p>Beyond that, though, Peace dollars always trade at a premium to melt, and Morgan dollars trade at an even higher premium. Even if they&#039;re cleaned or otherwise cull, they&#039;re worth more than just silver value. When I&#039;m coming up with a &quot;minimum value&quot; estimate for a silver lot, I count each low-grade Morgan or Peace as $1.25 &quot;face value&quot;. I also count 40% Kennedy halves as 20 cents or a little less, and war nickels as around 5 cents -- two war nickels have one and a half times as much silver as a silver dime, but they trade at a big discount because they&#039;re heavy/bulky/ugly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
