The coins are in mint-state condition, generally in the MS61-MS63 range on the 70-point scale.

The coin shown in the photos is in mint state condition. We would grade it Mint State-63 (MS63) on the official 70-point grading scale. Mint state coins occupy 11 points on the scale, from MS60 to MS70 consecutively. A mint state coin (grade MS60 or higher) has no discernible wear. It will, however, have surface contact marks, also called "bag marks" which result from these heavy coins coming in contact with each other as they fall from the minting press, down chutes, into wood boxes, get dumped into canvas bags of 1,000 coins, and transported, by horse and carriage at the time, and eventually steam locomotives, to the government reserves and ultimately to banks for distribution. As you can imagine this process 120+ years ago, these soft silver coins are going to get marked up before they are even circulated. Hence there is an 11 point range for Mint State grades. MS63 is a decent looking coin as mint state coins go, though they get even better looking as you increase towards MS70 (which actually is not known to exist in 120-year-old coins). The coins offered here are quite nice for their age.
