how many morgan silver dollars are there in a pound

[StMelanie]

That's a great question for anyone interested in collecting or investing in silver!

Based on the provided information, there are 17 Morgan silver dollars in one pound. One of the sources is a product page from GovMint.com that specifically lists "1 lb" of Morgan dollars as containing 17 coins.

This number makes sense when you look at the official weight of the coins. A standard, uncirculated Morgan silver dollar weighs 26.73 grams. A standard Avoirdupois pound is equal to about 453.6 grams. When you divide the weight of a pound by the weight of a single coin, you get approximately 16.97. Because of this, sellers round up to 17 coins to sell a full pound, especially since circulated coins might have lost a tiny bit of weight over the years due to wear.

So, if you're looking to buy Morgan dollars by the pound, 17 is the magic number you'll typically find in the bag.
