Value: As a rough estimate of this coins value you can assume this coin in average condition will be valued at somewhere around $50, while one in certified mint state (MS+) condition could bring as much as $140,000 at auction. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say average, we mean in a similar condition to other coins issued in 1896, and mint state meaning it is certified MS+ by one of the top coin grading companies. [?].
Additional Info: The New Orleans mint issued some 4.9 million Morgan Silver Dollars in 1896. The mint mark is on the reverse directly below the wreath. This coin in mint condition can be worth as much as a Ferrari.
Numismatic vs Intrinsic Value:This coin in poor condition is still worth $28.95 more than the intrinsic value from silver content of $21.05, this coin is thus more valuable to a collector than to a silver bug. Coins worth more to a collectors may be a better long term investment. If the metal prices drop you will still have a coin that a numismatic would want to buy.
