Hi, this is my first post!

I was just curious about one of the coins I have. Had these coins growing up, and haven't looked at them until now.

I believe this is a " Morgan silver dollar":
Morgan-Silver-Dollar
Morgan-Silver-Dollar

Is this a rare coin? How much does it go for?

Thanks!

The best answer - and I'm not trying to be facetious here - is, "because I've seen a Morgan dollar before." This doesn't look like a Morgan dollar past the most casual of glances. All of the proportions are off. The most striking differences is in the denticles, which are way too long for a real coin.

It should measure 38.1mm. Does it?

Alright, it is a replica.

What about this 1976 Liberty Bell Dollar?
Morgan-Silver-Dollar
Morgan-Silver-Dollar

Is this a common coin? Haha.

That's an Eisenhower dollar or an 'Ike' and yes, they are pretty common. Only would command a premium (in my opinion) if it was in high MS, otherwise it would only be worth face value.

to CCF! Wish we could have better news for a newbie however the Morgan dollar is fake. I'm not very knowledgeable about Eisenhower dollars (the 2nd coin posted) but I'm relatively confident that it is real. As some of the others said, they are common and don't have a lot of value.
