I have this Silver Dollar. It has been my favorite in my collection and I want to start getting them graded. MY QUESTIONS FOR ALL OF YOU: What would you say the grade of this coin is? I have been told it looks to be a MS67. What do you all think?   |

Its not MS-67, but I can't really tell because the obverse (front) pictures make it look polished...though it looks more natural on the back. Does the front really look like that?

and the back actually looks exactly like the Obverse in Person.
I can see my fingerprint on my finger when I put it on the plastic.

MS63 maybe 64, but I don't think so...1881-s is know for spectactular strikes... this one is ok, most like for the year MS63/////

If its actually mirrorlike it probably isn't polished, it just has this dull look in the photo.

Its a REDFIELD MS65 holder....they are nice coins but slightly over graded in general. yet some are very close to todays standards...I LOVE THE REDFIELD COINS.;...but very over priced...

Looks nice and frosty on the devices and the fields may be proof-like with some depth of mirror. Probably the plastic makes the surfaces look more dull than they really are.
The marks on the cheek and the reverse fields preclude an MS-67 grade but I've seen MS-65 coins in NGC and PCGS holders with similar levels of marks. Unless there are luster problems it looks solid for MS-64 and possible for MS-65. You got a decent deal for $50 I think.

Thank you everyone. I use ebay sometimes when it comes to purchasing coins but Mostly in local ads online Utah has its own site like Cragslist but its A LOT BETTER. Estate sales are great for purchasing coins. |
