    One's an "S" mint and the Other is a "P" mint...

    Top Coin current bid price of $380 with 2 hours to go. You feel it's PL? Sellers states it may be a Proof? Is it? Price put's it around MS-65 range. Is it?


    Bottom coins at $9.99 with 5 days to go. Seller say's it's MS-66. Looks MS-64 or so to me? Yes/No?


    Thanks, Lee

    Lee: The top coin is an 1881-S, and they did not mint any proofs in the San Francisco Mint -- so it is not a proof. It may be Semi-PL to PL, but I would caution you not to purchase a raw 1881-S for $380...

    As a general rule, I suggest that you stay away from purchasing raw coins on e-Bay, especially if you are relatively new to coin collecting.

    I would never spend $380 on a raw 81-S, especially on ebay.....

    Top coin looks like an MS-67 in the picture. But if it were an MS-67, it would be sitting in a PCGS slab, 100% guaranteed.
