<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 4384637, member: 105571&quot;]With these photographs telling us nothing about luster, we have to rely exclusively on wear plus what little we can deduce about luster breaks on device high points.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if the 1875-S is notorious for weak strike, but Liberty&#039;s hair looks very weakly struck to me.&nbsp; I also believe I see slight wear points on the breast and on the tip of the eagles left wing.</p><p><br /></p><p>For comparison, here&#039;s pics of my 1877-S PCGS graded AU-55.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I am calling the OP&#039;s coin an AU-58 while giving it the benefit of the doubt for strike and luster.&nbsp; It might grade lower if examined in hand but I don&#039;t think there is a circumstance that would call for any mint state grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>As always, I am happy to be wrong if I can learn something from the experience.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1104520[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1104521[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
