MrBill Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 02/19/2019 11:11 am Based on PCGS photograde examples, this 1878-S appears to me to be a grade MS64; however, it's challenging to get a clear photo. Edited by MrBill 02/19/2019 11:14 am Report this Post to the Staff

MrBill Valued Member United States 73 Posts	Posted 02/19/2019 11:29 am Thanks for comments. Why does this Morgan appear to be cleaned? Any suggestions on how to take better pics of these shinny coins? Report this Post to the Staff

llewellin Pillar of the Community United States 1005 Posts	Posted 02/20/2019 6:25 pm AU details cleaned. Coin is too shiny everywhere as is clear from the photos, luster is completely gone. Areas around devices were somewhat protected from cleaning/polishing so are duller, a true hallmark of cleaning. Enough material looks to have been removed either from circulation or more likely polishing to knock this down to AU details. Report this Post to the Staff
