How much would this be worth?

[Squishy]

Well, I am Canadian so I'll do my best to describe this US dollar I came across today.

So today I went over to the corner store and bought some pop and chips. My change back was $1.52. And in my change I found a Canadian loonie ($1 coin) 2 useless pennies and an American silver dollar coin from 1900.

Now I don't know if the teller thought it was a 50 cent coin or what...but this was $2.52 (not including the exchange rates)

Now this silver dollar is from 1900. It has Lady Liberty (or the queen of England, I don't know) on the obverse and some kind of eagle or bid on the reverse holding some arrows and a stick of some sort. Above it, it says In God we trust, and United States of America. Below this bird it says One Dollar.

This coin is heavy for it's size, and I have concluded that it is made out of silver. It is in almost uncirculated condition.

Anyone know how much this would be worth?

It is Lady Liberty, not the Queen of England. It may have been the Queen of England if it was pre-1776. It is called the Morgan Silver Dollar; Morgan was the designer. If it looks kinda beat up (circulated condition) it is worth 12 - 15 US$. If it looks brand new (uncirculated condition), it is worth 25 US$. I would guess you got one in circulated condition, but you got $13+ as your change :thumbup::laugh:

If you an S above the DO on the coin it will be worth more. If there is other letters I think CC or 0 than it will be worth a lot depending on condition.

I do know that here (U.S) they have been selling those Morgan silver dollars on the tv...no idea what year appears on the coins they sell today just throwing it out there

Most likely not that much. It really depends on the condition on the coin, how long it has been in circulation, where is was minted, and how many of those coins were made. If it has been in circulation for a very long it the coin will start to show aging. Anyways most likely $5 top if not less. Just because a coin is old means it's going to be worth more money.
