Bought this in a weak moment at the local coin shop  And I probably overpaid  But hey, it's my first 1931S and I like it.  I had a grade in mind when I purchased. I'll let you know in a couple of days what I thought it was. Until then, please let me know how you would grade. Thank you!

I'd call it AU55. Great color for an AU coin.

Very nice ...
My uneducated opinion is AU55/RB.

I'm leaning towards 63 RB also. Great looking coin.

Great coin! I couldn't go MS...I'd be solid at AU58RB and would be stoked to have it!

I give it the ol' AU63RB and holy cow, that is a stunning coin! The eye appeal just works for me. Mind if I ask what you paid to make you feel like you overpaid? I would have had a hard time passing this one up for sure.

I'd say AU-58, but quite possibly MS-63. And yes I agree that this is a RB beauty for sure.

 It's a very nice coin. During the Depression even a cent could buy a very stale loaf of bread.

OK, time to spill the beans... I thought it was MS-62 RB when I bought it. It seems that I might have been in the ballpark.  As for the price, I paid $210 (the most I have spent on a coin in my life...  ). Again probably too much, but I'm happy with the coin and I definitely won't be trying to upgrade any time soon! Thanks for all of the grades so far and if anyone else has an opinion on the grade I would really appreciate to hear it.
