Morgan and Peace dollars are NOT 1 oz silver, but .75% silver.

No, they are 90 per cent silver, and the rest copper, but .77 of an ounce (when new). Jus’ sayin’.

I like the morgan dollars, at least the “S” mint ones mostly, from the 1880s that have nice strikes. The New Orleans mint had hand-me-down dies or worn out, so even uncirculated coins look mushy and weak. The cotton balls in the babes hair are the high point on the coin, if you can see dimples the coin is in pretty good shape. The one thing I learned about silver, nobody ever went very far very fast if they robbed a bank of that stuff. Ever see a movie where they robbed a bank and then took off at a gallop on their horses? Uh-uh.. no way.
