Purchased this awhile ago, and finally got around to taking some pictures of it.

    Nice clean cheek on that one, i'd call it a 65+.
    Spooky

    I like the cheek!



    The action in the prime focal area in front of the face probably limits it a bit . . . but wow, a super (65+ / 66) cheek . . . . . .



    67 reverse . . . if they can just look away from the action on the obverse . . .66!

    MS-64+ or "a just makes" it MS-65. The cheek and luster look like MS-65 or better, but there is a lot of clatter in the upper right field. That might be overemphasized by the photo. The 1879-S is a common date in high grade and comes well made. Therefore, like 1881-S, it doesn't get any "breaks" on grading because of the date. One expects this date to come nice.

    MS65, could go 65+
    When in doubt, don't.

    Nice Gem Morgan. The 79, 80, and 81 San Frans sure do come nice.

    Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

    I agree, the early S-mint coins are my favourite to collect.

    These are often seen nice. This one won't grade above MS 65 because of the chatter obv/rev.
    If you do what you always did, you get what you always got.
