Just got the coin today, I don't think my pictures do it justice. I will try to take some better pictures when I have time. I am not sure why these ones look so blurry. In my opinion, the coin is definitely PL   Edited by Canadian-Banknotes

So, does this one make an MS-65?
I am still on the fence

Looks at least a high end MS-64 PL and close to DMPL if not there already but like you I am not sure if it will make MS-65. I see some chatter on the face but I can't quite make out how much. A brighter photo would help. MS-65 or not, you sure have one nice coin!  |

Here are my second set of pictures, much better than my first ones (in my opinion) buy still slightly blurry. *Click the Images for Full Size    Edited by Canadian-Banknotes

What a tremendous coin. There are technically enough marks to make 65 debatable, but they're in non-prominent locations. I think it would make 65PL; you have to decide if it's DMPL on your own because that would be almost impossible to image.
These are not uncommon for 1879-S. Its' value probably approaches $300.

Thanks again for your opinions, I just checked the coin again and think that it is a strong PL but would not make DMPL.

Based on the new photos I would say this is a solid MS65PL

What would a realistic value be on this coin? I am looking on ebay, and have noticed that coins graded by PCGS and NGC as MS-65PL are anywhere from $267 to $350 |

Maybe 30% back of the 64 prices.
