As I understand Zakat is wajib on Gold or Silver coins if they are used as currency. I have 50 old Silver Morgan Dollars which are more of a collectors item at this point and are not used as currency. Am I still obligated to pay zakat on them on their silver weight. Please advise.

As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,
We hope this answer finds you in high Islamic spirit.
Since they are not used as a currency in the market, you are not obligated to pay Zakat on them. However, it may be a subject of Khums.
