1884 Morgan Silver Dollar - Collectors advice would be greatly appreciated!

This coin has been in the family for a very long time. Looking for some advice. I am trading in Silver to a vendor and can't decide if this coin has more value as melted silver or as the 1884 Morgan coin.

I don't know how to grade coins - but as a novice I see lots of hair lines and eagle feathers which I believe helps with value.

Is this something worth holding onto for another 100 years or sell it with other silver.

Thanks for the advice in advance!

Appears to be from the New Orleans Mint ("O" on the rear bottom)--- maybe these will help: ;)

My local "metal guy" is taking in more coins and jewelry, than you can imagine. Melt is bringing good money. However, it will only increase with the current rise in metals. It's just when a person decides they don't need one thing, and need the cash.
Timing, is always the factor.
 
How long has it been in your family? :unsure:
Glad that you kept it--- probably more sentimental value. ;)
