I do not believe it makes PL; there's a haziness in the fields which I think precludes the designation even though it's obviously lustrous. All the same, I'd buy yours before the second coin.

1893S Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 01/02/2012 12:21 pm These 2 coins, and the Grades given by us, are a good example of how Grading Morgans is not an exact science. Coin #2 the Slabbed coin is in my opinion the perfect example of a 1882-S PL. The 1882S is known for Sharp strike, brilliant luster, and somewhat baggy/abraded/nicked surface. The Prooflikes of this coin are almost always Brilliant Prooflikes, with very few if any real Cameo Prooflikes. When I first looked at your #1 coin I thought high grade AU but as I looked closer I could see it was MS. It has a average to poor strike in my eyes for an 1882S, the Luster is bland, and also not many abrasions which is why at first I thought it was exhibiting chacteristics of an AU coin with the abrasions being rounded/rubbed so to speak. Grading is deffinately not an exact science. If I were to choose between the two coins I would pick up the NGC Graded coin in a heartbeat and pass on the first coin as it is uncaracteristic of an 1882S. Report this Post to the Staff

Las_Vegas_Larry Pillar of the Community United States 817 Posts	Posted 01/03/2012 07:40 am Your coin is great. MS63 should be easy. You should not dip the coin, but if were conserved properly It may go MS64PL. I don't think it would grade PL with out the conservation. Report this Post to the Staff
