Quick value checklist

  • Separate Standing Liberty, Washington silver, Barber, state proof, roll, and collection lots.
  • Check date, mint mark, silver content, holder, grade, and damage.
  • For collections, photograph the entire album or roll plus the best coins.

Key value drivers

Silver content, type, date, mint mark, grade, original surfaces, certification, quantity, and demand all matter. Cleaned, scratched, or damaged coins can sell differently than guide prices suggest.

Photo checklist

  • Front, back, date, mint mark, edge, holder, roll labels, albums, and group photo.
  • Close-ups of wear, scratches, cleaning, corrosion, color, and rim damage.
  • Receipts, grading labels, collection notes, and prior appraisals.
