paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 11/27/2016 9:32 pm Totally had no intentions of buying anything, but happened across this by chance and, well, yeah, a pretty coin at a good price, and look what happens. 1878-S $2.50 gold, PCGS holder. Looks semi-prooflike in areas. I thought it looked pretty nice. What do you think for a grade? Seller pics (resized by me...)

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 11/27/2016 10:45 pm It does look semi-PL with nice eye appeal in the images. I'm thinking AU55 but I've seen such pieces market-graded into low MS holders. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6396 Posts	Posted 11/27/2016 11:28 pm Seems to have no wear but there is a lot of friction and fine scratches in the fields. If judged MS by PCGS it should top out at MS-61 due to the plethora of small marks. I'd call it AU-58 based on these photos. Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 11/29/2016 9:25 pm Most of you nailed this one straight away! I just need a $1 and a $20 to have a Liberty Head type set. If I were a CAC member I might try to get this one beaned.
