I got this in a lot. It looked like there was a mint mark on this 1893 coin. This coin is has an "S" mint mark correct?

Looks like AG reverse. What would you grade the obverse?

That's definitely an S mintmark. G-4 obverse, AG-3 reverse. I'd give it an AG-3 overall.

Yes, I will verify that's a mint mark.
