Doesn't seem to have the luster the other one has. I think I'd be comfortable going MS-61 on it.

I'm betting on Photo harshness making this one look worse than it is.
I'm going MS-63
Nice group of Morgans Dlegg

thanks, I agree the photos may not be the best representation... I do think they look better in hand... but the camera is dead so all I had was my cell phone

I would go with AU-55/58. I think the coin shows some signs of wear on the face and the eagle's breast. Those areas don't seem lustrous in the pics.

could be the weak strike of the O mint, but I lean to AU 59 on this. Hard photos to work from but darn good photos for a cell phone!

I would grade this AU because it looks like there is wear above the eye and ear on the obverse and wear on the eagles breast, wing and leaves on the reverse.

Thanks for the new photo, I'm searching to see if this is an overdate 1880-0. there were many varieties. and I enlarged your original photo, and it possibly has a die crack just below the 0(zero), but your camera shot does not confirm anything, lots of purple overtone's on my end...in hand you may be able to confirm.....When you get your camera back up. take another of the date and also of the OBV and REV again,
might lead to a general agreed consensus of the coin and its grade...Thanks...

ok aladin.... I tried... possibly failed; but when your equipment is a $5 microscope and an iphone it makes these close ups hard... I posted a 2 other pictures, one of the 2nd star to the right and one of the P in pluribus.... I'm not sure if the 2nd star is post mint damage or what but one of the points seems smushed/ not there... and I'm not sure how to describe the p... it seems as if the lower loop of the p got cut off a bit (maybe my eyes are tricking me)...
