RoLik New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 12/09/2025 6:13 pm Picked up this 1903-S based on the PCGS TrueView photos. Looked a bit ugly with the posted TrueViews and the price seemed good to pass up so I grabbed it... Here's the PCGS TrueView: Here's the coin in hand: What I thought was wear on her head appears to be toning. I'm not sure if the eagle's breast is seen as a weakness or just a weak strike. The coin exhibits excellent luster in hand and even though there is some chatter in the fields but I feel this should still get an MS61, maybe even MS62... Any thoughts? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff
