Every Morgan dollar is 90% silver. Many Morgans sell well over melt because of collector demand, so check the date and mint before selling one for metal.
Melt value vs. selling price
Melt value is the metal alone. What you get for a Morgan dollar depends on condition, date and who is buying. Common worn coins usually sell close to melt. Key dates, rare mint marks and high grades can be worth much more, so look those up before selling for metal.
