See the below example of a 1879 S (SAF) dollar. I am getting to know my way around these guys and cant place a grade on this one. Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

I can tell you there is luster behind all that toning but it is just as darkly toned in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/21/2018 10:41 am I'm thinking there's a lot of scuffing beneath that toning, so I'm at 63. Still a handsome specimen. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18687 Posts	Posted 12/21/2018 11:15 am I think coinfrog may be correct. looks like the toning may be hiding a lot of scuffing on the obverse taking it down to MS63. its also possible this coin has seen some circulation so I grade of AU58 would not surprise me Report this Post to the Staff

Jadey Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 12/21/2018 2:21 pm I'm between 63 and 64 obverse. I can't tell if there is wear on the reverse, or that is just the lighting reflecting off the high points. I suspect the latter. I really like the toning. Report this Post to the Staff

MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 12/21/2018 11:41 pm That is a very pretty original coin. Gulp... I'll venture on the risky side and put It into the ms category. ms-62 here. Report this Post to the Staff
