  .900 gets a premium IMO cause it's actual currency.

  Love the 1885-CC Morgan

  the .900 should get a premium since it doesn't seem to get milk spots like the .999 does.

  Could say 90% of $16 ($14.40), except that the other 10% is copper which is not free. Also, for worn coins, actual weight is relevant since an ounce minted isn't still all there.

  The 999 fine SAE's are legal tender for one dollar but no one spends them just like no one spends 900 fine silver dimes, quarters, or halves. Also, ASE's sell for a higher premium than 900 fine junk silver coins.
