1880-S Morgan dollar opinions

jgoodroth

I'm relatively new to this message board and am trying to improve my posting skills as well as my ability to grade my Morgan dollars. Thought this 1880-S was relatively free of bag marks. Was curious what board members thought of this coin especially the white "finger print" appearance in the obverse field.




Thanks,

The fingerprints don't bother me. The cheek looks strange to me though, might just be the image or it might just be me.

Interesting you mention this. Between the fingerprint and the cheek, I was wondering if it may have been thumbed at one point.

IMO- looks to be a very nice 65- could it have lost a few to make a 66 because of the thumb print?

My first impression is an MS-65 coin. I'm assuming
the contact marks on the cheek are very light.
