'63.........cinch those staples down.

 

Cinch what?

 

63. He's referring to the staples not smashed into the holder, they can scratch other coins.

 

Oh.Which type is it?1 or 2?I think its 2 but what do you think?

 

This isn't really my area of expertise, but it looks like a seven tail feathers. I can't see it well enough to see if it is a seven over eight though.

 

MS-63, maybe 64

 

What type? Morgan dollar.

 

He means variety.

 

I know.

 

After some diligent research, I have to agree with Tom.

 

64

 

The '79-S has two reverses. One is the "78 Reverse" with parallel arrow feathers (PAF) and the other is the "79 Reverse" with slanted arrow feathers (SAF). Yours is the 79 Reverse.

@cpm9ball , the redbook recognizes 3 reverses.
1) 8TF rev. '78
2) 7TF rev. '78
3) 7TF rev. of '79

I believe this is the '79-S 7TF with 3rd reverse.

 

Ok thanks everyone for the help.

 

Oops! You're right! I forgot about the tail feathers.

Chris

 

Would you call this a good deal at 40 bucks?

 

I'd call it a fair price.

 

I would have to say MS-63 and definatley cinch those staples or it won't matter the current grade, variety, or mintage.

 

Well I got the coin and its better than I thought. I put it into an air tight capsle.I will post pics when I can.
