linky

Received the coin today, solid MS66 slightly PL (along with every other 1881 S) will throw into my next submission and post results when it's graded!

Looks like a good deal

AnkurJ · February 11, 2013 4:23AM

Looks PL

TAMU15 · February 11, 2013 4:41AM

looks like a 65 shot 66 based on the crappy pics to me. we'll see when it comes in! PL would be a nice bonus, although it just looks like a flashy 81 S to me.

With the apparent rim damage at the 10 o'clock position on the reverse, I don't think it will grade. Nice piece of bullion though.

TAMU15 · February 11, 2013 4:50AM

looks like toning to me. similar to the spots at 5 oclock.

lcoopie · February 11, 2013 5:08AM

it looks fishy to me

MsMorrisine · February 11, 2013 5:10AM

not terrible pics.

enough to tell it'll look good in hand.

BryceM · February 11, 2013 5:22AM

I see some rim toning, but no rim damage. Assuming it's real, there's a bit of downside risk, but minimal. Why not? Let us know what it looks like when you get it.

My mistake..could it be a gasket that's damaged & not the rim?

It could be some fricking toning, Dr. Morgan. Sheesh.

Word of advice to you. Do not exhibit your eBay wins until AFTER you have the coin in hand, or at least until the seller has shipped.

That's pretty good advice.

I'm thinking it is a pretty nice coin. You just might be pleasantly surprised.

1881-S dollar were made well and come nice. This one is okay, but it's not a "home run." It has been dipped IMO and does not show the luster of a totally original piece. For that reason I think that highest grade it can get is MS-64. But for $55 I don't think you can complain.

Very good deal !!!

LeeBone · February 16, 2013 7:55AM

TAMU15 · February 16, 2013 8:01AM

Took a few days to get shipped havnt received it yet.

derryb · February 16, 2013 8:52AM

I got a better offer for the coin from someone who saw it on the PCGS coin forum. Your refund should show up by the end of the day. Just kidding, I'm not the seller. Like others said best to not share your joy until coin is in hand. Nice coin.
