<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bluegill, post: 139278, member: 1748&quot;]All Morgan and Peace dollars should weigh 26.73 grams, and are 90% silver.&nbsp; You can use a good set of scales to weigh them; even if very worn, they shouldn&#039;t deviate from that weight by much at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, cleaning is almost always a bad idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>The shiny one might have been cleaned already, but not neccessarily. The others might have been cleaned, too: surface abrasion or discoloration is probably a better indication of cleaning than shininess. Shinyness. Shininess. However you spell it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you don&#039;t want to spend money on reference material, you might try your local library for a copy of the guide to U.S. coins by Yeoman (the &quot;Red Book&quot;) which will give you a good idea how rare your coins are, and what condition they might be in. It also lists the coins&#039; weight and composition and other statistics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
