It's not really a coin, it's a bullion piece sold for its silver content and not for spending. The current price of silver is about $17 per ounce.

What is a Morgan silver dollar worth 999 fine silver no date on coin or amount?

It's not a real Morgan silver dollar. It's a modern bullion piece (as indicated by the ".999 fine silver") that copies the Morgan design. The good news is that depending on the amount of silver it contains, it could be worth more than the melt value of a real Morgan. Morgan dollars contained about 0.77 oz. of pure silver, so if your piece is 1 oz it's worth about 1/3 more at melt. Of course, a real Morgan could also be worth MUCH more as a collectible depending on its date and mint mark, too!

What does 999 on a silver coin mean?

It represents the "fineness", or purity, of the silver in the coin expressed as a decimal. Normally fineness is given to 3 digits. In that case the number expresses the purity as a in parts per 1000. For example, 999 means 999/1000 of the coin is pure silver. The other 1/1000 is some kind of trace impurity that's impossible to remove. Sometimes the fineness is expressed with a decimal point (.999) and sometimes without, but the meaning is always the same - e.g. 999/1000 = 0.999 = 99.9% (see why they made you take algebra in middle school?) 999 fine silver is generally only used for bullion coins and other items that aren't subject to wear, because it's too soft. In the US, pre-1965 silver coins minted for circulation were made of 900 fine silver, i.e. 90%, with the remaining 10% being copper for hardness. Sterling silver is 925 fine often used in jewelry and formal dinnerware.
