Anna caught without her make-up? Interesting note which came with the COA which might give a hint to its grade: "This coin has never been placed in circulation by the U.S. Government. However, due to its heavy scratches or tarnish it was culled out of the "Uncircurlated" category and was offered in a special category ("Mixed Carson City") at a $15.00 minimum bid price. Your coin was selected from this category which includes Carson City dates 1879, 1880, 1881, 1882, 1883, 1884, 1885 1890, and 1891. Exchanges for different years may not be made."

MS-63. The GSA, BTW, didn't know how to grade these. This isn't the only example of a mint state one that isn't in the "Uncirculated Silver Dollar" holder. I like it. Don't take it out of that holder. If you need it graded, send it off to NGC.

I'm leaning towards an MS-62, but definitely not lower. As Eddie mentions, GSA was kind of weird with their use of "Unc". One of my GSA CC's is labeled the same way and really does not look much more marked up than some of my others.

Because of the excellent detail and luster, I'm going to overlook the scuff marks and say MS-64.
