UnimpossibIe Valued Member United States 343 Posts	Posted 04/28/2025 10:33 am Hey all, just wanted to share a quick little project I was working on this past weekend. I bought an 1878-S Morgan paperweight last week, normally when I find coins like these they're polished to the moon but this one looks original. It took a couple of days in acetone to dissolve the lucite enough to get her out, but she is now free. Here's the before and after: Let me know what you guys think, thanks as always!

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18662 Posts	Posted 04/30/2025 4:42 pm no higher than 62 imo and that right obv field ruts could very well put her in the damaged box. Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36744 Posts	Posted 08/18/2025 10:28 am You got lucky at MS-63. Those obverse field marks seem pretty deep. Looks MS-62 to me. Report this Post to the Staff
