Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 10:10 am Looks mint state and there are very few contact marks or scuffs. The faint marks on Liberty's cheek are so shallow that I don't expect they will impact the grade. This potentially could be MS-65. Your photos however don't show any luster. That could be due to lighting, or if the coin has prooflike surfaces it can be difficult to capture the luster in photographs. Or, the coin may have been dipped or otherwise processed to improve its appearance which may relegate it to a "details" holder from NGC. Luster is the most important property for mint state coins. The 1879-S Morgan in mint state is normally found with booming cartwheel luster and the fact that these photos don't show that is bothersome. How does it look in-hand? Does it show a strong cartwheel when tilted under a light? If not, it will not qualify for a high mint-state grade IMO. Report this Post to the Staff
mkman123 Pillar of the Community United States 3184 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 11:03 am Your pics are bad and it hard to make a judgement. Because this date comes easy in high grade, I'm gna guess 65+-66 Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 11:52 am I'm going to call it 64 but 65 wouldn't surprise me. Report this Post to the Staff

ericmckeown Valued Member United States 379 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 1:38 pm I agree, MS64 Report this Post to the Staff
NathanASE Pillar of the Community United States 1511 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 1:41 pm I'd say MS-63, maybe 64. The luster definitely showed better in the second set of photos. Nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff

peterplanchet Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 01/31/2013 6:02 pm With the slight friction in the cheek, I'd say its a high end MS64. Report this Post to the Staff
