1900-S Morgan Dollar in MS63

What does MS63 mean on a 1900-S Morgan dollar?

A 1900-S Morgan dollar graded MS63 is that coin in one particular state of preservation — the date and the mint mark are already fixed, and MS63 is what a grader called the surface that survived. What that looks like on this coin is below. The nearest grade of this date this site does have a researched figure for is Mint State (MS-65), at $1,540 to $1,639, from sales and public data.

What MS63 means

A 1900-S Morgan dollar in Mint State (MS-63) has no wear at all, because it never circulated. What separates it from the mint state grades above is contact marks rather than wear: the open fields of Liberty’s cheek and neck carry scattered nicks picked up in the mint bag, and the lustre is unbroken but not exceptional.

A slab, a dealer’s list or a price guide may write this grade MS-63. They are the same grade and the same 1900-S Morgan dollar.

Where this grade sits

The grades a 1900-S Morgan dollar is given run from PO1 to MS70. One step up from MS63 is Mint State (MS-64). In general terms, the higher the grade the more the coin is worth.
