If it was a regular 79-s I dont think it was a good price. But considering it is a reverse 78 you did pretty good.

Did you even know it was reverse 78? Be honest...

Not a bad example of an 79 S rev. 78. There are some real duds out there that people are calling MS and asking double what you paid for this.

PS, I think you may be pleasantly surprised when you get this one in hand as the images look like scans.

Looks AU-58-ish to my eye; not sure about any possible cleaning or dipping. The pictures are a bit wonky, so I reserve judgement for when you have the coin in hand and can post some better pics.

AU-55 possibly dipped but it just might be the poor photos. Wait to see what it looks like in hand.

Yeah I was just browsing Morgans on ebay and I looked at Numismedia for an 1879 and saw the 1879 S Reverse of 78 values and decided I'd try to find one that wasn't ID'd as so. I stumbled upon this gem and thought "Why not?" I was on the fence with the pictures but I'll wait to see how it looks in hand.
