Please give your grade opinion on the following 1897-S: http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...7S-Obverse.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...7S-Reverse.jpg   08-07-2007, 06:50 PM   #2 (permalink) bqcoins You get what you pay for.     Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Nebraska/Iowa Posts: 4,766 My Mood: ms-63 that dig on her face knocks it from a 65 in my opinion, it is so distracting it actually focuses the eye away from the beauty. __________________ BQ Sometime Numismatic Consultant See my Bust Halves here: http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...albumview=grid See my Holey coins here:http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...albumview=grid   08-07-2007, 09:37 PM   #3 (permalink) zaneman Moderator     Join Date: Aug 2005 Posts: 2,745 ms-63 IMO.   08-07-2007, 11:47 PM   #4 (permalink) DJCoinz Majored in Morganology     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Wisconsin Posts: 2,739 My Mood: BB scratch, rim damage.

Although the coin has very little damage on the surface of the Reverse, there are just too many scratches, rub and digs on the Obverse combined with the rim damage on the Reverse, I just don't see it getting past MS-62.
