<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 4770351, member: 105571&quot;]OK, the &#039;75-S is a pretty common date/mm coin.&nbsp; This one looks to be a weak strike obverse with a fairly strong strike reverse.&nbsp; You can tell the obverse strike quality by looking at Liberty&#039;s hair and the adjacent stars 7 &amp; 8.&nbsp; While the hair looks like it might be worn, stars 7 &amp; 8 are both weaker than the other stars.&nbsp; Also, the hand on the pole looks worn but is really a weak strike.&nbsp; Conclusion is that what might be taken for obverse wear is really a weak strike in the K11 to K1 positions.&nbsp; The weak foot is strike, not wear.&nbsp; The reverse looks to be Reverse L from the die crack at the bottom of the denomination but I haven&#039;t tried to determine the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin looks to me like it&#039;s been cleaned but I can&#039;t say so definitively.&nbsp; I think I see some luster but I also think the coin has sort of a &quot;washed-out&quot; look, more so on the obverse than the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are a number of dings on Liberty&#039;s drapery and arm and some minor scratching in the obverse fields.&nbsp; The reverse looks nice despite some minor hits on the motto.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, overall, I would say this might slab as a MS-62 to 63 if it straight-grades.&nbsp; It might not.&nbsp; This coin Greysheets at $460/$665.&nbsp; I would say it&#039;s worth the $50 to chance it straight-grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>Wait for opinions from others here.&nbsp; There could well be disagreement, as hard as that is to imagine.</p><p><br /></p><p>Compare your coin to my 1853 A&amp;R NGC MS-62 CAC. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1162050[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1162051[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1162052[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
