If you don't have a coin shop in your town, here are some places that I've found:

http://www.centercoin.com/coin_catalog/ ... atalog.htm

http://www.coinchannel.com/

The second place will only sell the cull coins (your cheapest option as far as silver dollars goes) in rolls. They price out to about $12 a coin, but you have to buy a roll of 20.

Also, don't forget about pawn shops and flea markets.

or you can use washers. Tannen's magic camp gave everybody washers to practice coin magic with, and i personally like them better then actually using coins. (plus they are cheap).

Yeah but why would you want to perform with washers?

Well, I meant you can practice with washers. This way you only need to buy 4 or so morgan dollars and you don't have to worry about losing them. Use the morgan dollars for performance, and washers for practice. I konw that there is a weight difference for most washers, but while looking in my house i have found some that are about the same weight as a morgan dollar.

Ah. Yeah, when reading about the Miser's Dream in Bobo's, I felt a tear drip when the requirements said "22-24 well-worn silver dollars".

I've bought fromCenter coin. Decent prices, but Morgans aren't cheap (Minted from 1878-1921). They give you an option to just buy any coin, so they pick, and it might not be in the best shape.
You should pick the actual year you want (newer coins are less expensive), and it will indicate what condition it's in. The better condition, the more expensive. For magic, choosing "Extra-fine" is more then you need. "Fine" would be ok, but CenterCoin doesn't list any.

Also, ebay is quite good, maybe cheaper for Morgans. I've received some nice coins, you just have to be patient.
