While I am in no way an Expert, I believe the Dull grey and lines are indications that it has been cleaned.

To the CCF (and the world of Morgan silver dollars)

You are correct in thinking its been cleaned. This one has been harshly cleaned unfortunately.

My grade is EF details (cleaned) Worth melt IMO.

So this would be the equivalent of a cull coin? I am a newbie so forgive me.

Unfortunately yes. Whoever cleaned it did a horrible job.

I have a few myself I bought when I first started as well.

Harshly cleaned with a wire brush. Unless it is a desirable VAM, not worth much more than $24.

to CCF @SilverSpot! She's been roughed up a bit but still a '78-S. It would make a nice pocket piece.
