It's no secret that mint condition silver dollars are worth a lot more than ones in fair or poor condition. In almost all cases a coin which appears to be in excellent condition will be significantly more collectable than one which is damaged. Collectors should consider more than just a coin's age to determine its value. The age and scarcity of coins of course affects their value to collectors, but did you know that there are other factors that play a part in assigning value to a given coin?. The market value of a coin is largely determined by demand for it.
