i recently got a 3 cent silver piece with a lot I bought at melt. the year is 1853. the coin is pretty worn, but many details still there.

This will give you a reasonable estimate.

To be safe take 70% of the value listed there and you are probably good on a fair price.

thanks. Im guessing mine is the lowest grade its pretty worn. It is much smaller then a dime.

You can go "below" the lowest grade fyi. "G4" is actually a decent coin without significant damage, just wear.

If it has a date and isn't bent it's probably at least AG2 or AG3.
