    A very attractive coin. I'll say MS-66. A nice find! image

    Clean surfaces but it looks like it may have been lightly cleaned also looks like it may have faint PVC residue? Blue green areas near the L in Liberty and the bridge of Miss Libertys nose.

    Smooth coin, but it seems to have subdued or uneven luster. I'll call it a 65.

    I don't see why it wouldn't be a 67.

    It doesn't show any luster for PL, but maybe that's due to the scan?

    Nice coin

    Looks like 2nd reverse Parallel top arrow
    Is that a hit of some type on the tip of her nose?

    MS65

    Sorry, but the dark areas on the face & highpoints are breaks in the surface where it has cleaned, rubbed, wiped, mishandled or whatever.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    I was going to say 66-67. If Dog is right, and the coin is AU, it still has better eye appeal than most any 79-S rev. of 78 that you are likely to run across. I love it.

    I agree with dog, looks like rub, especially across the cheek. If not, a solid 66

    When it gets here later this week, I'll post more pics. Before it makes it's trip to PCGS. Hopefully it comes back in a slab and not a bodybag.

    Keep us posted. The final grade will be interesting.

    Sorry, but it looks cleaned to me. Looks like I can see the hairlines across the face. Also it just has that drab look of a cleaned coin.

    It's MS-60 at best. The S mint dollars of this era come with strong luster. This on is dull because it's been dipped too hashly. The surfaces are smooth but they are dull and cloudy.
