    Absolutely impossible to grade anything from those images. And you might want to edit the title of your post - I think you meant 1878.
    I reserve the right to change my mind with new facts, experience, opinions, or viewpoints.

    Way too blurry for me to tell. Try using a digital camera with a macro setting. TC

    Can't really tell anything from those photos.
    I wouldn't even want to throw a grade out there, but I can say that coin, from the reverse photos does look like it has been polished.
    Better photos would be needed to determine if it has been cleaned and the grade of the coin.

    Wait until you can get your camera to work, a webcam isn't the best thing to take pictures with, when determining the grade of a coin.

    It looks like it was cleaned or wiped, but that is truly a guess based upon the "feel" of the coin in the images.

    If you notice, there appears to be dirt or grime in and around the letters and the wreath, but the fields are bright white. Granted, these photos aren't too good, but that is usually an indication that the coin has been cleaned.
