Your images appear flat and lifeless, so there is a possibility it could go either way assuming there are no issues that would result in a gennie tag. The 80-S does appear to be MS from what I can see, but to be totally honest, you probably could have done better for the money paid. Buying raw from images, unless from a known and trusted dealer (and even then), is always a gamble. With silver prices where they are, a nice slabbed example could have been had for near the same amount.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
