how much is my 1884 silver dollar?

Answer 1

Do you mean, how much is it worth? That depends on what silver dollar you have. A silver Trade Dollar was issued between 1873-1885 to compete with silver coinage in the far east (the orient), but only 10 of these were made in 1884. If you are lucky to have one of those 10 coins, it will be worth over one quarter of 1 million dollars. You most likely have the Morgan Dollar and the value of this depends on where it was minted and the condition of the coin. The mint mark will be below the wreath on the reverse of the coin. Coins of this year were minted at four different U.S. Mint branches: No mint mark-Philadelphia, O-New Orleans, S-San Francisco, and CC- Carson City, Nevada. The Carson City mint mark commands much higher prices (100-400+ dollars, depending on condition) Also bear in mind that the price of silver is really high right now, and each Morgan Silver Dollar has .77344 of an ounce of silver.

Answer 2

Have you checked it for a mint mark.It is located on the eagle side (reverse) below the wreath. The Philadelphia mint coin (no mint mark) is not rare or scarce. It has a mintage of 14,070,875. It is worth $13.50-$17.50 in circulated grades. The higher the grade the higher the value. This date was also minted at Carson City (CC) it is the rarest, San Francisco (S) the second rarest and At New Orleans (O) .The (S) one gets into the $30.00 range in extra fine grade. The (CC) starts out at $85.00 in just grade Very good and goes way up from there to $130.00 in extra fine. Of course uncirculated examples of any of these are worth more than stated. Values are what a coin dealer would pay or very close.
