Grading the 1900 Morgan Silver Dollar

For coins that are well over 100 years old, collectors are always going to take note of the condition the coin is in. This is why, before ever making a purchase, you will see collectors carefully analyze the condition a coin is in, looking for any and all imperfections. Because these coins were minted and circulated so long ago, the time they have had to become damaged is quite elongated.

For most, the best way to have the condition of a coin assessed is to send said coin away for grading. Understanding that professional grading is something that costs a good bit of money, we have provided below an outline of the basic coin grades as well as their related characteristics.

Uncirculated: For coins, the Uncirculated grade is the best of the best. This grade indicates that the coin in question spent almost no time at all being circulated. Instead, they were kept in a safe place throughout the entirety of their existence. In the eyes of collectors, these are by far the most desirable pieces.

Extremely Fine: A coin determined to be of Extremely Fine grade is one that spent only a short period of time being circulated. These coins will have some signs of wear and tear, but these will most often be small and only able to be viewed under close inspection. All in all, Extremely Fine Morgan Silver Dollars are in great condition.

Fine: Fine is a grade given to coins that have been circulated for extended periods of time but have somehow managed to avoid much of the damage typically associated with coins that have been exchanged for long periods of time. The damage you will find on these coins most often ranges from small scratching to the wearing down of the coin’s textured surfaces.

Good: Good is the lowest grade a coin can receive and is often indicative of a piece that was never taken out of circulation. Having been exchanged hundreds of thousands of times, these Morgan Silver Dollars have definitely seen their better days.
