Finally, have the coin authenticated by a professional numismatist or coin grading service for a conclusive evaluation.
An uncirculated silver dollar will have no signs of wear or damage, such as scratches, discoloration, or nicks.

Grading by a professional coin grading service can also verify if a silver dollar is uncirculated.
