<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 16788, member: 669&quot;]Welcome to the forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>If either of those dates is correct, you have a Peace Dollar, with an effigy of Liberty on the obverse and a side view of an eagle with folded wings perched on a rock on the reverse.&nbsp; In general it&#039;s the least valuable of the silver dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>A Morgan dollar has a different Liberty effigy, and the eagle on the reverse has outstretched wings and is holding arrows and a branch in its claws.</p><p><br /></p><p>Morgans were minted from 1878-1921 (with almost two decades missing), and Peace dollars were minted from 1921-1935 (with a few years missing).&nbsp; Whichever it is, your coin has a great deal of family historical value to you <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> , but its cash value is only somewhere in the vicinity of $4.60 - the current value of the .77344 troy ounces of silver it contains <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; In the condition you describe it carries no numismatic premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>Because of the special memories it has for you, you might want to consider just carrying it as a &quot;pocket piece&quot;.&nbsp; Sadly, it&#039;s really past needing any preservation in an Airtite holder, or some similar plastic capsule sized to hold the coin to protect its condition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
