HP2001PH Valued Member Germany 312 Posts	Posted 07/15/2022 6:30 pm I am new to collecting coins and bought a couple silver dollars (from private) in the last months. I did mainly go by gut feeling, but have studied various websites with grading advice. I am still quite unsure especially about the divisions between XF / AU and AU / MS. So I would now like to compare my grades to what the community here thinks. I hope the pictures are good enough. Here goes no. 4, a 1885 Morgan dollar, no mintmark. Report this Post to the Staff

HP2001PH Valued Member Germany 312 Posts	Posted 07/16/2022 01:34 am Thank you all. Side note: Interesting. In the german system XF is suppopsed to be about the same as VZ (vorzüglich), acc. to an internet article I found. But browsing mint cataogues from dealers here I think this coin would be for sure not rated VZ but SS (which should then approximate VF). Here is the table I am talking about (scroll down): http://www.fleur-de-coin.com/articl...gn=Redirects From my (granted, very limited) experience it would be more AU = VZ XF = SS Edited by HP2001PH 07/16/2022 01:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
