Clad in.999 Pure Silver. History is being made! Introducing the new Cook Islands Double Liberty Head Dollar. It’s one coin with two heads and no tails to mark the 100th anniversary of the very LAST Morgan Silver Dollar and the very FIRST Peace Silver Dollar. 1921 saw a rare coin event. The evocative image of Lady Liberty seemingly gliding across a sunrise landscape is something that is near and dear to every American’s heart. In addition to the coin’s design, the timing of this particular coin’s minting makes it especially valuable. First minted in 1916 and minted up until 1947, this coin was around during some of the most iconic periods of American history. Even the earliest Seated Liberty Dollars will range from $100-$200 if their condition is questionable. As is the case with Bust Silver Dollars, it is not often that you find beginner or amateur collectors looking to get their hands on coins that are as generally pricy as Seated Liberty Silver Dollar. The value of a Liberty silver dollar is based on condition, but all silver dollars have a minimum melt value. The melt value for a Morgan silver dollar is $9 to $11. Any coins with a Carson City mint mark are worth $60 to $2000 depending on the condition. The most valuable coin of this series is the 1893-S, worth more than $3,000 in mint condition.

2001 American silver eagles are bullion coins that contain one ounce of .999-fine silver, which is essentially pure silver. The coin’s high silver content is just one reason, however, that American silver eagles are so popular with both bullion investors and coin collectors. Another reason is its beautiful design. The obverse design, featuring Miss Liberty striding toward the rising sun, is actually a faithful revival of the obverse design from the Walking Liberty half dollar, which was designed by Adolph A. Weinman and struck from 1916 through 1947.
Starting in 2001, all American silver eagles were struck at the West Point mint in New York. This is a change from years earlier, when the Philadelphia and also the San Francisco mint, at one point, shared the duties of striking each year’s offering of American silver eagles.
The change in mints did not much affect mintage numbers, which had been in the 8-10 million mark for uncirculated specimens during in 2000 and throughout the first half of the decade. 9,001,711 uncirculated specimens were made and 746,398 proof examples were made in 2001. Values for uncirculated specimens are generally a few dollars above the prevailing spot price, while the proof specimen can be bought for about $20 over spot.

Liberty Dollar Coin 1776 To 1976
Most one dollar United States of America Liberty coins are not encountered on a day to day basis in circulation. In fact, in some years the coins were only sold directly to collectors and dealers by The U.S. Mint. Despite their perhaps seemingly elusive nature, the vast majority of these coins are extremely common and still only worth their face value of one dollar.
Liberty Dollar Coin Value 1971
The first silver dollar coins were minted in 1794. With exception of a few small gaps, silver dollars were commonplace in commerce between the late 1700s and 1935. 1935 marks the last year that silver dollars were issued for circulation where the coins actually had silver in them. The Eisenhower (aka Ike) series rebooted the $1 silver coin series in 1971, but only special issues of Ikes have silver. The later Susan B. Anthony coins, also while silver in color, don’t have any precious metal content. And the Sacajawea and Native American dollars, again while gold in color, definitely do not have any actual gold content.
