LemonTrades
TL;DR
- A 1923 silver dollar is a Peace dollar, 90% silver, with 0.7734 troy ounces of silver. Its melt value is live below.
- About 56.6 million were made across three mints, so worn coins sell for a little over melt.
- 1923-D and 1923-S coins are scarcer in top condition and can sell for much more when uncirculated.
- LemonTrades follows the silver price for you, with alerts on sharp moves and the likely cause.

When it’s worth more
- Uncirculated coins, with no wear on Liberty’s cheek and hair.
- 1923-D and 1923-S in high grades.
- Errors and die varieties.
Condition matters most: a worn coin and a sharp, uncirculated one of the same date can differ by ten times or more. Look for wear on the highest points of the design, and never clean a coin you might sell; cleaning cuts its value.
Selling
To sell, compare offers from two or three coin dealers, or have a valuable coin graded by PCGS or NGC first. Bulk common coins sell close to melt value: see junk silver. Is it real? See is silver magnetic.
Compare the 1921 and 1922 Peace dollars, and the older 1879 Morgan.
