Uncirculated coins are given a grading number from MS-60 to MS-70 depending on many factors such as Strike, Luster, Bag marks and a lot of other variables. Circulated coins are graded with different terms. They range from Poor to AU (About uncirculated). They are also assigned numbers from 01 to 58 depending on the condition of the coin. I don't think the number on the insert card has anything to do with the grade. Your coin that says "Silver Dollar" may also be uncirculated. I can't tell from your photos. IMO if you have a 1878 CC and 1881 CC GSA Silver dollar, it would pay for you to have them graded by NGC or PCGS. If you decide to have them graded make sure you send them to the TPG that keeps them in the original GSA holders. It would also pay for you to buy a copy of the "Red Book" (A Guide to United States Coins). It's a great book to learn about coins.[/QUOTE]
