Silver Dollar Grading

[robskils-migration]

I have 5 1889 Morgan Silver Dollar Copies. Where it should say One Dollar under the eagle on the back it says "COPY # AV0561 (through AV0565)." Does anyone know what these might be worth today?

Thank you.

Considering they are base metal with a ten thousandth of an inch thick silver plating, maybe 10 to 25 cents each.

 

And that's probably retail value.

Welcome to the boards robskils.

 

Condor101 is right. They are copies and not the real thing. If you put a magnet on them expect them to cling. If not, they could be silver in which case they are their weight in bullion. Bullion is $17.00 an ounce currently.

At least the manufacturer was compliant with the Hobby Protection Act and put COPY on the counterfeits, as required.

Conder is right that these are probably very thinly plated with silver. More like novelty morgans that represent rare ones.

I agree with Raisethis2. If it sticks you're out of luck. I would just toss it into the tigers feeding pen.
