Will it go 65?

It is a SOLID 64+ without question. I think that it has a very GOOD chance at 65. The color and strike are great and those obv. cheeks pretty darned clean. If I was a betting man, I WOULDN'T bet against it receiving a MS 65 nod. IMHO. I think it has a great chance.

As always, judging on the pics. I like the clean Obverse fields and the absence of any hits in focal areas on the Obverse. The few small tics on the Reverse are not that distracting. The toning is appealing. 1880-S is known for a sharp bold strike. No way to judge luster from the pics. But overall the strike on the Obverse and Reverse is not as sharp as I have seen on other MS65 examples.

 

Very nice Morgan.

 

MS64+ for the toning.

Slight chance, but it is a chance, at 65.

 

I'm with the 64+ too.

[L1ncolnF4n]

I think so. Unless your images are hiding something it's a very clean coin.

[JVC]

I believe it should grade MS 65. Reverse may hold it back.

I grade 65 but NGC and PCGS always undergrade common dates.

Same line of thinking here too! Nice Morgan!!

No matter what they grade it, that is a VERY attractive coin. I really like the toning. May not be for everyone, but I'd be proud to own that coin! (thumbs u

Solid 64 but I don't think 65. Line on the cheek and the pit on the reverse at the tip of the arrows may hold it back.

[physics-fan3.14]

It depends on the luster. Marks and toning, yeah, its a 65 easy. But, if the luster isn't all there, it won't make 65.

Wow, I must disagree with that vehemently.

 

Always undergrade? Not even close. Usually undergrade? Not even close. Frequently undergrade? No. Sometimes undergrade? Yes, of course.

Based on the images provided, the coin looks like a solid and attractive MS65 to me.

Yeah just sometimes but “Always” is more Dramatic.

I much prefer fairness and accuracy to "dramatic".

Thank you Mr. Feld

I agree with that statement Mark, you do prefer fairness and accuracy to dramatic having called me out on it a few times, haha. Thanks for keeping me honest

A dime a dozen in 65 but this one looks like a 64+ to me.

[im addicted]

A definite 64

[messydesk]

If an 80-S has dead luster, it's not going to get graded 65. The large, scuffy patch on the left reverse between the wreath and wing might also keep it out of a 65 holder.

[yonico]

65 sounds right

an attractive one, too

[SWNGC]

ok chance of 65

[yonico]

Is than coin in an old ANACS small holder?

[Mark T]

You take fantastic photos. 65 – I can’t see any reason why not.

Thanks, do the best I can with what I have,

[toyman-migration]

65 seems right.

[mtnstyne]

I say no, send it to me...(sarcasm)

 

Seriously it looks clean enough for 65 to me and nice picture taking. I like that album toning appearance as well so for me it's triple nice (thumbs u

[toyman-migration]

I think 65

[morganguru]

<<Is than coin in an old ANACS small holder?>>

 

Yes it is. I think the grade is a bit generous.

 

Just reshot it. One of my favorites.

 

[coinman_23885]

Solid 65 with good eye appeal and pleasant toning.
