1878 S Morgan Dollar Pl?

Alright, thanks.

So sorry for the bad pics. Still learning how to get better pics. I took these photos in natural light with no flash and unnatural light. Thanks for the help!

Sorry I can't get the pics right. I just can't seem to capture the details. Thanks for trying Coinfrog.

using you latest photos I'm torn on whether this coin is a slider or true MS. the luster on the surfaces of both sides appears to be broken. the lower half of wings look flat and dull. this is a common date coin that is known for sharp strong strikes. this coin is below average for the year. the eye appeal I put at 5/10 due to the toning. either the coin was cleaned at some point or possibly incorrectly stored. I'm leaning towards AU58 even though the surfaces are fairly clean of any hairlines or minor scratches with the exception of right under the eye

Nice coin, and I think you did well at that purchase price.

On the obverse, there is a very slight touch of wear on the cap fold, second cotton blossom, hair above the ear, and big bear claw. On the reverse, there is a very slight touch of wear on the eagle's head, right wing tip (our visual left), right talons and leg, and breast. This coin is a slider, a solid AU-58 that is tantalizingly close to MS-60.

There is frost on the obverse and reverse devices, but not enough for PL designation. There are a few small bag marks, one west of the lips and a few on the reverse west and east of the lower wing feathers. There are a few SW-NE scuff marks on the cheek. The toning and cheek scuffs match what I have seen over the years from DANSCO album coins. I don't see evidence of any recent cleaning. It is possible that this coin was stored long ago in a paper 2x2 flip, which could explain some of the purple color. Back in my day, when dinosaurs roamed, some people used cotton or gauze pads to keep the paper from contacting the coin. That could explain the rectangular untoned patch on the reverse.

Old school grading: AU+ slider, semi-prooflike.

I can get you started on VAM attribution, but the photos are not clear enough to chase the more detailed markers. Your coin has the B2 reverse (short nock), with a broken fourth star and an unbroken "r" in TRUST.

Again, at $40, you did well on this coin. With the toning and SPL surfaces, I can see what attracted you to it.

AU-58

As someone who has had to photograph my fair share of Morgans to sell, I know how difficult it can be to get a true view. I really dont see anything screaming circulation. Though at AU-58, I would really need to see it in hand and look at the known wear points with a glass. I'll go MS 64, though with this year a TPG would downgrade it to an MS63. It does look semi proof like, and no surprise there, this is a year for many of these.
