1923 Peace Silver Dollar Value as Seen By Collectors
Comparing your coin to these "grading" images identifies its condition. Although at first the differences between grades are subtle, they become easy to distinguish by focusing on the areas highlighted by the descriptions.
Uncirculated: 1923 Peace silver dollar value and collector appeal rises well above its base metal price in this grade. The technical standard is no wear to the surface to reach "uncirculated" condition. Mint luster, a radiating shine, must remain complete across the coin. It is easiest so see when viewed under a light, and tilting the coin side to side. Liberty's cheek, a high point of design, is quick to loose luster from wear causing a dull grey appearance.
Extremely Fine: A slight amount of detail is missing from the tops of the raised portions of the design. If not wide spread a grade of "extremely fine" describes its condition. View Liberty's cheek, and back of her hair, wear forms a smoother texture than the surrounding areas. Overall a pleasing coin, displaying a vibrant appearance when viewed at a distance.
Even in this higher grade 1923 dollars trade based on silver content and value. However, should your coin exhibit a slight glow surrounding the lettering this remaining mint luster indicates it is a candidate for future collector appeal.
Fine: First impression of this 'fine" condition is, yes there is wear but not extensive nor unappealing. As you look closely all raised portions are affected by wear, quickly noticeable is the flattened areas of hair and cheek and also above the eye. Focusing your attention now to the tops of the lettering, motto and date, they have a leveled and smooth quality.
Good: Very worn and flattened, with most strands of hair merged defines the "good" grade. Today a 1923 Peace silver dollar in this condition trades at bullion value, likely never achieving any collectible status. Lettering is now faint towards the rim and on the reverse, feather details over most of the eagle are missing.
