Sorry in advance for the pictures, this was in a dimly lit antique shop. They want $50 for it so it probably isn't worth it but I still thought it was interesting to find a nicer date in an antique shop. They also say VF.

Looks VF details, cleaned and retoned.

That's what feared! Thanks for the input.
Looks like it has been cleaned to me as well. I wouldn't drop 50 for it.
Well I did this before as well and your not the last one to do it either there will be more, keep posting.
Hoard the keys.
I grade it $22.00

VF details,

Looks like it was first cloroxed, then dipped and not rinsed.
Looks XF to me, but it's had a rough ride.
More realistically priced at $25-$30... Cheers, RickO
The first posts are too harsh. The coin is at least XF details. I can’t say whether it’s been cleaned too aggressively to straight grade but it doesn’t look unreasonable to me. $50 is a good price
Look at past sales of 85-S coins in XF45 for a comparison.
Yours has at least as much detail as this one:

Also, even a VF20 should be priced around $40.
Minus the scrape on the cheek bone and the wear: ms62'ish all morning long. Wit the wear and check boned hit, it venture to say it is a coin that belongs in a bezel hanging around a pole dancer's neck in Vegas.
40
XF cleaned
Always good to check before buying if you can. Don't see that coin straight grading.

XF40 details...
Maybe a 45 at best
@david3142:
1) XF-ish, but key is the "details" bit. Cleaned, and not attractively re-toned.
2) It's not an 1883 S, it's an 85 S
3) "Should be" priced? I move in different circles than do you, apparently.
It's an unattractive, cleaned Morgan Dollar in a common date/ grade.
Sorry you felt that you needed to disagree, and maybe I was $3 low, but I'm happy to return the favor. I don't generally click on the disagree icon for differences in opinion, which is what the OP requested.

XF details. Altered surfaces.
