still blurry but it looks ms63 due to marks in the fields. che cheek looks pretty nice. Looks like an 1880-O from the New Orleans Mint. Should update title to reflect that. The 1880-O is worth 4x as much as the 1880 so good for you!  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

What's difference between 0 & O? I can't find anything that explains visual difference.

It is a 1881-O which means it was minted on New Orleans. 0 is a zero that I mistyped in a previous post when I meant to type O.

Obvious circulation rub on center of breast on reverse which is not due to strike. AU-55.
