1935 or older silver dollars are worth about $40

Silver dollars, which are 90% silver and 10% copper, have been out of production for so long, that much of the public has never been in the same room as one

Silver dollars, which are 90% silver and 10% copper, have been out of production for so long, that much of the public has never been in the same room as one, said the gold and silver expert.

According to Millman, if you do come across a silver dollar, the date plays a role in its value.

He explained: “For common dates, a circulated silver dollar runs about $40. Prices go much higher for rarer years and coins in better condition,” so you would be looking for 1935 or older.

In addition to the dates, the design and size play a role in deterring a dollar coin is in fact a silver dollar, for example, both the Peace dollar and Morgan dollar are valued at approximately $40 per coin.

For that matter, you may come across a good looking coin, say the Eisenhower coin, which came out in 1971, and while a sturdy fella, it would be worth about $2 - $5.
