Getting the most accurate silver dollar price can be difficult. Silver coins have been used in the United States since 1794 and while that was more than 200 years ago,, not all coins are considered to be exceptionally valuable. The United States mint produced a good number of these coins over their lifetime. Today's silver dollars are not minted for regular circulation but more so for collectors. Still, those who have a shiny silver dollar in their hand often want to know the value of it.

Older Is Better

One factor that greatly affects the value of the silver dollar price is the age of the coin. The oldest coins, the 1794 silver dollars or Flowing Hair Liberty dollar coins, are thought to only have 2000 pieces struck. This makes them rather valuable. The 1795 coins are much easier to find though and the value of them is often considered far less valuable. These older coins could provide more value if they were in good condition.

Rarity Helps

Another factor in the cost considerations for the rarity of the coin. There are many coins considered rare, including the 1794 silver dollars. But, perhaps the most widely known coin valued as one of the most valuable coins in the world is the 1804 silver dollars. These coins are valuable mainly because there were no coins minted dated 1804 until these coins were produced. That may seem odd but what makes these coins odd is that they were actual struck in 1836, years after the Mint found the mistake. Although there were coins were minted in 1804, they were dated 1803, simply because the cost of changing the striking device was too expensive. In 1836, the government decided to produce a very small set of 1804 silver dollars (it is believed there are only 15 of these). These were never meant for circulation and were actually given to foreign leaders and dignitaries instead. One of these coins came to market in 1999 and sold for some $4 million dollars.

There are other silver dollar coins that are considered to be valuable.

o The 1878 CC Morgan Silver Dollar

o The 1891 CC Morgan Silver Dollar

o The 1893 S Morgan Silver Dollar

o The 1928 Peace Silver Dollar

These are some of the more rare coins and the ones that coin collectors are regularly looking for. You can find the values of any of these coins by simply looking at the web. There are various websites that provide detailed information about the value of the coins. Aside from some of the most rare coins as mentioned earlier, most silver dollar price points will range from face value up to a few hundred dollars (if they are considered somewhat rare.)

Although silver dollars were not used heavily in circulation, they are considered to be important pieces for those who collect coins. In fact, they are some of the most sought out of coins today, often because of their larger size and interesting stories. You can find accurate price information online.

Grading Your Comic Books

Knowing the condition of your comic book will help in knowing the value of it. Grading your comic allows you to describe the condition that it is in, and there is a universal scale which is used. Grading your own comic is subjective. The Comics Guaranty Company, or CGC, can grade your comic for a fee. Doing this will provide a third party opinion and make the grade less subjective. They use the same scale as well so it’s not always necessary to pay them to do the grading for you.

The highest grade a comic can receive is mint. If a comic is in mint condition it should look like it just came off the press. For a comic to be in mint condition there can’t be any tears, cuts or creases. The comic should be able to lay flat on a surface without any rolling or curving of the pages. The spine has to be the same way, completely straight. The staples in the spine have to look new and can’t have any rusting or unusual bending. The pages of a mint condition comic can’t have any fading or discoloration, marks or smudges, and there can’t be any rips or tears. The only accepted marking on the comic allowed is an autograph. 

Not every comic can be perfect, and the next best grade it can receive is near mint. Older comics that are in near perfect condition usually receive this grade. Overall the comic should look like new, but there are a few exceptions allowed for this grade. If the cover is slightly off center it will be considered near mint. Other conditions that will give your comic a near mint grade are minor bindery tears and minor fading of the pages. All other aspects of the comic will have to be perfect.

If a comic has minor imperfections the grade usually given is very fine. Over time and use of the comic, it can be worn or damaged. However, to be graded very fine the comic can only have minor problems such as wear around the staples in the binding or a small crease on the cover. The color on the cover and pages can be slightly faded as well.

For comic books that are used and read, not just collected, the grade is usually fine. Because the comic has been open and read there are usually creases on the spine and pages. The staples can have some discoloration or show signs of unusual bending. Minor stains or tears to the pages will result in a comic being graded as fine. Fine graded comic books are above average in appearance.

The average comic book which has been read is graded as very good. A well read comic will have stress to the staples in the spine and obvious creases. The comic has to have all of the pages still intact as well. The cover and pages are allowed to have discoloration and fading, but there can’t be major tears. A small tear is allowed for this grade.

As comics start to lose value, and you can tell that they have been used and well read the grade given is either good or fair. The comic is worn down, has major defects, but it still readable. A good or fair grade will be given if the cover has been detached, has tears and creases along the cover and pages, the pages are marked or stained, and the spine is in bad condition. If pages are missing and the cover is gone the comic will be graded as poor.
