  Wow. That's the sweetest little coin I've ever seen. Looks so much better than gem. Surprised CAC didn't gold that little lady.

  Agree with all here that you have a nice coin. IMHO it even looks better not blown up. Assume the scratches on the blown up reverse are just on the holder?
  
  Also IMHO that obverse would by itself grade a lot higher than MS65. If in fact the scratches seen on the reverse blow up are on the coin and not the holder, I didn't realize PCGS would net grade like ANACS and/or some of the other Third Party Grading Services used to do, but it appears that is what they have done, unless their policy is to just assign the lower grade of either side.

  Thanks for all the nice comments. The scratches on the reverse are on the holder.

  Has the appearance of copper nickel coloration vs. yellow gold. Any thoughts on that assuming it's not just the lighting or photography?

  scans, high-end, but scans nonetheless.
  
  
  
  ive read/heard it allows them to process maddening amounts of coins with decent results all considered.
  
  
  
  goodness only knows about the bulbs and settings.
  
  
  
  in-hand, it would be closer to the large images. the scanner effect can unintentionally enhance pl-ish fields.
  
  
  
  i do concur it is prettier in the full-slab shot due to the contrast but is somewhat artificial.
  
  
  
  i'd take a whole set of g$1 just like this and die a happy numismatist.

  Cool coin and cool date. So many low mintages in that 1879, 80, 81 run in lots of denoms.

  If that 1880 has a chance at PL, I've got to think this one is a lock.
