...and I have no idea what to do with it. I like Barber coins, but I want them in silver. But just couldn't pass up the opportunity to steal this for a mere $200

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO close to a full liberty it's ridiculus. Darn that "I"!

That's what I would grade a very nice VG8. Here is a PCGS VG-10 and yours is pretty darn close. Great get by the way at a third of what I paid for this one! PG

Sweet score. Very nice price. I got mine for 5ยข, but you can barely see the date. I mean, it's almost not there, which is why it was in the cull bin.

There are a lot of these 1885s available in grades that would make you cry. [Fair - Ag]
AND NOT CHEAP!
Yours is a truly great find at a price that is difficult to believe.
Everything about your coin is honest.
I salute you. And enjoy it!
