<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 24832856, member: 27832&quot;]Okay, the information in that infographic/article is actually accurate (if a bit incomplete).</p><p><br /></p><p>As best I can tell, it&#039;s <i>only</i> talking about actual Morgan and Peace dollars (i.e. pre-1936).</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, Morgan (and Peace) dollars contain just over 3/4 troy ounce of actual silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, some sellers may try to gloss over that in their sales pitches.</p><p><br /></p><p>But because (original) Morgan dollars (and to a lesser extent Peace dollars) are so <i>popular with collectors</i>, they trade at a premium. You&#039;ll have to pay more than &quot;spot silver value&quot; to get them, but you should <i>get</i> more when you sell them, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>The <b>real</b> ripoff, in my opinion, is dealers who make lowball <i>buy</i> offers by saying &quot;aw, these old things contain barely 3/4 oz of silver each, best I can do is (some lowball number).&quot; Because that dealer will <b>never</b> <i>sell</i> them based on silver content. Any dealer would be a fool to do so, because any dealer can find any number of buyers at the higher numismatic price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
