What VG8 means
A 1903 Morgan dollar with no mint mark in Very Good (VG-8) is well worn but complete: the hair above Liberty’s ear and the cotton bolls in her cap are smooth, the eagle’s breast feathers and the tops of its wings show the outline of the design and little inside it, and LIBERTY on the headband, E PLURIBUS UNUM and the date stand clear of a full rim that runs unbroken round the coin.
A slab, a dealer’s list or a price guide may write this grade VG-8. They are the same grade and the same 1903 Morgan dollar with no mint mark.
