I'll say MS-66. A knockout.

Good chance at MS65. Curious what the cheek looks like at a different angle. I see a few marks, nothing heavy on the cheek, but a few to many obverse field hits to warrant any higher than 65. Great looking piece!

Edit: autocorrect

In an older holder maybe MS64.

typical sharp strike with the exception of some weakness in the breast. it would be nice to see it out its holder but it is what it is. I think it makes MS65

MS65 is very possible.

How much are you able to get this for?

MS-64 (maybe +) Too much field chatter and marks on the neck for higher. I also cannot get a good view of the cheek.

The coin is being sold as a MS66. I thought it might be a solid MS65 but a stretch at a MS66 grade. Looks like majority agrees.

It's priced a little lower than a PCGS/NGC graded 66 but well above what a MS65 should sell for.

I'll pass and keep hunting for the elusive to me 1878-S MS-66.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Quite a bit of chatter on the obverse, and photos aren't super clear. I would say MS-64 tops.
