I'm putting together a 7070 type set of mostly problem coins and well worn coins grading from Ag-VG. I was wondering what price I would probally pay for a well worn Peace dollar. It seems like dealers around here have typically been selling them for like $23 here but they are in a higher grade then I need. |

$20 - $24 at a coin show I attended yesterday in Jacksonville, FL. Hope that helps some.

Yea, I'd look for as close to melt as possible. Picked up a well worn Morgan a couple weeks ago from my LCS for $15.

Yeah I'm hoping to find one around melt but didn't know if they ever went for that. It's a cool collection so far my only coins I need after 1850 is the Peace dollar and two Ike's. |

I was in Orlando a couple of weeks ago and the LCS I visited had a box of Peace dollars for $24 each - there were some common ones in Good EF to AU but also some lowball specimens! Would love to get silver dollars for $15! |

Ok I found a AG Peace dollar for $16 at one of the coin stores I go to. I didn't grab yet since I'm hoping to see the owner Friday to sell some pieces if he is still interested. Problem is for four to eight dollars more I could get a decent one about xf with good toning. I would be happy to sell him the stuff for $25 so maybe we could make a deal for a nicer junk Peace dollar and two common Ike's I want. Just some proof sets with about $18.30 in face value. I paid $5 over face over them and I'm looking to break even. Edited by Bertensgrad

Before the huge drop in silver, my local dealer priced any peace/morgan dollar without numismatic value at $23 ($21 USD), grading anywhere from G-VF (I actually picked up a problem free 1890-P in AU-50 from the pile once  ). Haven't been there since the drop, I'm guessing pricing has gone down to $20 or thereabouts or the coins have been taken off the shelves completely. |

I like that you're doing a lowball 7070. Got any pics of your set so far? I have a lot of lowball Peace dollars, all with original surfaces. Drop me a PM. Maybe we could do a trade for one. |

With silver currently at about $16.20 you should easily be able to get lower grade, common date Peace dollars for under $20. They are virtually bullion items. The higher prices that dealers are quoting are probably because they bought when silver was higher and are not ready to lose money. |

$22 dollars around here. But I expect the price to go down in a few weeks.

One of our LCS sells AU common dates for $25.

The shop I go to has them this week for $13.50 each. They come in conditions from AG to EF, and all types (year/mint mark). I don't collect dollar coins yet (I buy silver quarters, dimes, and nickels), so I don't really look too much at them.

If you can find honest problem free P-AG Peace where you can still see the MM for under 25, get them. Very often quality low balls are NOT tied to melt value. They do carry a premium. The price actually drops when you go UP in grade to G-F. Those coins are usually closer to melt.
