Interesting. I've never been into numismatism, but I can see its appeal.
I never see modern coins so worn down, even fifty year old quarters. I know this coin is 115 years old, but it has not been in circulation that long. In fact I doubt it was in circulation after 1925 or so.
Is it that silver is just that much softer than copper alloys we use today?

That'd be correct.
