<p>[QUOTE="tpsadler, post: 380843, member: 9860"]WOW, I think this one will put me out on the limb. I think the marks on the Obverse look like bag marks. These could be easily seen as scratches if not magnified. The only appearance of wear looks to be on the leaf above the cotton ball. I think this is also a bag mark as I do not see any of the obvious areas of wear on the Obverse.</p><p>1880-O were weakly struck causing the appearances as shown. IMO if you see wear, you will see a smearing effect as the melt as blends together and number of high points looking shiney with most luster in those areas missing. </p><p> </p><p>The Reverse looks normal with early signs of toning. </p><p> </p><p>Now don't shoot me but I think it is a MS-63 as seen. This coin really needs to be seen in person to give a truely accurate grade. The Reverse makes this coin tough to grade IMO. </p><p> </p><p>All that being said this is a very nice looking coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
