That is really nice! The fields look clean. Couple areas of minor discoloration on the reverse, but not enough to be a distraction IMO.
Looks MS65RD to me. Looks like it's in a slab.

That is one beautiful 31-S!
MS66RD, with a good shot at 67RD.

Nice looking coin that's very expensive in 66RD so I'd price it conservatively as a raw piece and call it 64RB and even then it's a $200 coin.
65RD would put it at $500 at least and 66RD would be $1500 so it would be worth $200 for sure as is. How much is the seller asking for it?

Couple litle dings on the rim but still a ms-65+++ if I could I ll defnately buy one !
I like to know how much are you about to pay for it ? My guess is some big bucks 350-450 dollars my guess. One thing for sure you can buy and one day if need easy sale because collectors with lot of money and grade sets would pay big bucks to have that in their collection plus any coin dealer ll want to have this merchandise to offer on theyr display , my op !

I will say MS-65+ to MS-66 RD for this coin. Definitely has 66 luster and surfaces but the rims may hold him back.

Raw from where? Just beware, there's lots of fakes out there and I can't see the MM well enough to be sure...but it looks OK. Should be an easy 64, about $275.

Should arrive at my house on Wed/Thursday. I paid $230 shipped for this coin. Yeah...I am NOT big on buying coins unseen...but this one looks VERY nice.
Of note, I saw two slabbed MS65 RB 31 S's at a coin dealer. He was asking $600 each. They are not in the same ball park as this coin.
Coin has not been slabbed.

MS-64 RB with a shot at 65. A nice deal at that price!

MS-64...but looks like a pretty good ding on the rim above WE...that may hold it back.

If that is a ding on the rim, then yeah, no way a 66. Still looks like it can make full RD though. Not in hand.

31 S and it's older cousin a 25 plain (raw) arrived today.
The 31 S is a slabbed coin from PCI some time ago. Grade is MS63. The goofy looking "chad" above "WE" is some overhang by the insert, not damage to the coin. Believe it will go 64 with a shot at 65. This is NOT the reason I bought the coin. Bought the coin because of the condition and it was priced right ($230). In my original post above, I was thinking of the 25 plain, when I posted this thread (sorry!).
The 25 plain cent is in a 2x2 card. Another very nice coin.
When we get the house unpacked and I figure out how to take quality pictures, will post pictures of the first page in my Dansco and some on the second page.
