<p>[QUOTE="TOLS196024, post: 272737, member: 3884"]Just so everyone knows, the lines you are seeing on the 1878-S are actually die polish lines not hairlines from cleaning. There is no rim ding on the Walker what you are seeing is reflection from the cellophane of the 2x2. </p><p><img src="http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w23/WarNickelHoarder/2007_083085oSlab00101.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>NGC graded the 1885-O Morgan MS66. I personally like it as a 65. Though the obverse is very clean, the strike is not great for an 1885-O and the two hits on the eagle's breast should keep this coin from going super gem. I would grade the 1878-S MS64 Semi PL as it has a nice strike which is typical for the date, but too much chatter on Liberty's cheek to go Gem. The Walker is an MS65 all day long. It has great lustre, a very well defined thumb, well struck eagle's breast, and few distracting marks. The Franklin, though not worth grading, is about a PR66. I have dipped it in acetone to remove the spot on the reverse, and will make a great albumn coin with the cam obverse. Thanks for playing!</p><p><br /></p><p>Tom[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
