As with any coin, the condition (or grade) is vital in determining its value. There are a number of websites and printed references that can assist in grading a coin. Grading is an experience based craft, but there is generally enough differentiation in the lower grades that novices can do okay. Regardless of the grading resource used, be sure they follow the American Numismatic Association's (ANA) standard for grading. Below is a list of values for the coin mentioned above(taken from the December 2006 issue of the Numismatic News Coin Market Price Guide): VG-8: $205 F-12=$260 VF-20=$395 XF-40=$650 AU-50=$1050 MS-60=$1850 MS-63=$7500 MS-65=$220,000
In Very Fine condition, around $25. Extremely Fine retails for about $35, and uncirculated could be from $65 to several hundred dollars depending on how good the strike is. If your coin is uncirculated it would have to be appraised in person by a knowledgeable dealer or appraiser to get an accurate value.

As with any collectible, a primary consideration in determining its value is its condition (or grade). Novice collectors, with some practice, can become quite accurate in determining grades for circulated coins (G-4 through AU-50). It becomes much more difficult when assigning grades for Uncirculated coins (MS-60 through MS-70) or Proof coins (PF-60 through PF-70) and the assistance of an experienced coin collector or trusted coin dealer should be sought. Another consideration is whether the coin has a mintmark, indicating where the coin was made: None or P = Phila D = Denver (1906-present) O = New Orleans (up to 1909)
S = San Francisco (up to 1955; occasionally after that on circulating coins, 1968+ on proofs)
CC = Carson City (up to 1893)
There are other mintmarks, but the above list covers most. There are many internet and printed resources in helping determine the appropriate grade for a coin. Whichever resource you choose to use, ensure that they follow the grading guidelines established by the American Numismatic Association (ANA). The mint mark location on a Morgan dollar is on the back, above the DO in DOLLAR.
