Cheek looks pretty clean. Looks 65'ish to these old man's eyes of mine! Lovely coin no matter what it eventually grades!

Hard to tell from the pics but can see enough marks/scratches to say no more than 64. Impossible to tell if the fields are mirrored.

I'm thinking MS-64.
Errers and Varietys.

Given the posted pics, I'm thinking solid MS64 at a minimum.

Really nice coin. Would be surprised at a 65 with a shot at PL

the 82(S) are almost always seen with bold strikes. this one is right there. lots of luster hanging around. the fields on both sides might be PL. glare may be hiding some scuffs and small marks in the fields but no less than MS64 and MS65 is a really good shot as well as a PL designation. repost in-hand photos if you get this one, would really like to see those fields.

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

This one arrived. Not a DMPL but does appear to be PL.   |

That's a really nice, clean 1882-S. I think this one makes MS-64. The cheek is the closest call on the obverse, but the rest of the obverse is fantastic. The reverse has a bit more noise, but still should support MS-64.

IMHO, the picture of this coin looks a bit smoothed out.
. . . My rating on this coin: MS-64
