<p>[QUOTE="jtlee321, post: 8429026, member: 73983"]I think we are ready for the reveal. The 1878-S is not like it's later siblings of the '79-S, '80-S, '81-S and '82-S. Those later 4 are often held to a much higher standard. The '78-S is often more baggy and suffers a bit of the ugly duckling syndrome. I've seen a lot of 64's that I would grade a 63, 65's that I would consider just making a 64. But when I saw this '78-S in my LCS's case, it was love at first sight. I thought it deserved the grade it was given. It's a grade that I've wanted to own for a long time, but just hadn't found an example that either I liked or could afford. They often are plagued with ugly toning, planchet flaws or any other myriad of issues that just don't agree with my eye. That's not to say that this one does not have issues, but in my opinion, they are much easier to forgive.</p><p><br /></p><p>With all that rambling behind us, here's what you guys really care about. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am always open to your opinions as why you might disagree with the grade.

With all that rambling behind us, here's what you guys really care about. ;) I am always open to your opinions as why you might disagree with the grade. A lot of you typically guess it right on the head with my GTG's, but this one was a little different. A majority guessed lower than the actual grade while just a few got it right. So congratulations to those who guessed MS-66. Here is a link to my next GTG: [URL]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/gtg-2-1879-s-morgan-dollar.398140/[/URL] [ATTACH=full]1494628[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
