That is a very nice looking 1896-S.
The obverse shows just a little more wear than the reverse, especially on the cotton blossoms and leaves. I see PCGS coming in at VF-30 here.

This looks like a very nice example. I'm somewhere in the 20-25 range.

Here it is! I thought this would be a tricky one from the photos, can't really see the luster. This coin has lots of luster remaining around the devices, exactly what you would expect for an XF coin. I think this one must of been a weaker strike, because the details on the devices does look more VFish in spots, especially in pictures.  |

  I'll quietly grab my dunce cap, slink off into mu designated corner of Morgan Kindergarten, stare at the wall, write "I will not talk in class" 500 times, and be quiet. |

I'm completely shocked by the grade reveal! And with a green bean no less. Obviously, PCGS and CAC see something here that I do not. Admittedly, I'm no authority on the 96s Morgans, but SF coins are generally known for sharp strikes.
