<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 3077068, member: 19250&quot;]This 1881 s came about on an impulse buy....end of show watching a dealer friend&nbsp; packing up his inventory. The coin sat in his case and sparkeled beaming with luster. The tone in hand is more a neon then a deep dark rainbow in color. It has great cartwheel luster as mosr 80 s and 81 s do as in my book some of the best struck coins of the series.</p><p>In hand this coin looks to be an easy 65 plus coin ,however under a 10 meg camera lens that captures each nick and hit it looses the charm&nbsp; looking at it at arms length. It is very pleasing to the eye, one of the reasons it came home with me.</p><p>Another strange fact is the reverse has more hits and distractions than the obv.</p><p>Again nothing to deter ones eye to be disenchanted.</p><p>The eagel is frosty not heavy but enought to set off the super strike!</p><p>The image posted does not do justice as her face or the eagel&nbsp; does not have any hits !</p><p>More so lite scratches then deep hits or scratches...and of course made to look like more under the camera len.</p><p>If handed this specimen raw in hand I say an easy 66 even a + for the neon color.</p><p>I do believe this was under graded by at least 1 point, or no less a&nbsp; */+ next to its current grade.</p><p>As ddddd said depending on who sent it in and who graded it ,the number most likely be higher.

And is again more so a lite scratch then hit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Vam #7[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
