TobyJ Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1273 Posts	Posted 03/03/2022 11:41 am A bit more scratched than she looked in the seller photos, but what do you grade her? Reverse is very lustrous with cartwheel effect. Obverse is lustrous but not quite as bright as reverse. It is quite a flat strike, is this year known for this? Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4468 Posts	Posted 03/03/2022 12:18 pm Any issues with weak strike in 1879 were due to die state as there were over 14 million coins struck and the dies at the P mint did heavy duty work. Fully struck 79 coin can be found. On the Morgan the weak strike and worn die issues shows up on the hair above the ear and the breast feathers. Based on you obverse photos I am putting the coin at AU58 as there appears to be some circulation rub. Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/03/2022 6:49 pm Luster appears to be interrupted a bit on the obverse. Nice die cracks. Is the stuff on the back dirt or toning?

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18635 Posts	Posted 03/04/2022 09:29 am actually no a bad strike for this year which can be weak. the lighting is a little much to determine if the luster is all there especially the reverse where it could be washed out. AU58 or MS63 but my first thought was AU58 so thats what I'm going with without better photos with less glare Report this Post to the Staff
