Entries in the value chart above are listed under these grade headings. And in the case of your 1904 silver dollar, if struck at a branch mint, many subtle details have a significant role.
Uncirculated: A silver dollar in "uncirculated" condition has never circulated through commerce, thus no wear has occurred to its surfaces. Your coin should exhibit a "like new" luster. Wear dulls this luster and affects the high points of Liberty's check, temple and hair. On the reverse the breast feathers and head of the eagle are subject to initial wear. If the luster is complete on both sides it assures the coin is uncirculated.
Extremely Fine: Wear has started to diminish small details of the hair just behind Liberty's ear and forehead. Further behind the ear the folds of the cap are now just slightly flattened. On the revere, small amounts of wear are visible on the tops of the wings, and obvious on the neck and breast feathers. Light overall wear defines a 1904 Morgan silver dollar in extremely fine condition.
Fine: Time in circulation has removed a moderate amount of detail on a silver dollar in "fine" condition. Large portions of hair have merged with only the deepest of lines showing. Wheat ears above the lettering of "Liberty" and the cotton blossoms just below are now just outlines. Silver dollars in fine condition give the impression of lost detail but not overly so.
Good: A 1904 silver dollar in "good" condition is distinctly "flat" in appearance. The original separation of Liberty's hair and forehead has worn away. Her ear still shows, however hair above and behind is smooth and connecting to her cheek. Liberty is visible in the head band but the cotton blossoms are now lost.
