lux73 Valued Member Italy 216 Posts	Posted 01/25/2016 12:26 pm Just need your advice on grading this 1879 S with these marks near nose and ear. Do you think this coin could be graded or it will only be a detail/damaged coin? If you think it could be graded, what you think about the grade? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 01/25/2016 12:47 pm I think it should grade as these would be considered bag marks in my opinion. It appears to be lightly circulated so maybe AU55. I have to ask if it's a rev 78? Report this Post to the Staff
