It's hard to see how clean the fields are as the coin does appear to have a little haze to it. I'm not sure if the marks I see are haze or dings. I'm inclined to say they are haze. Due to this being an 1880-S...which is one of the finest preserved and best struck dates...I know the TPGs are extra harsh here. Other dates, I could see this coin in the 68+ range...but I'm going to say MS67 on this one.
67-68 for sure. With the lack of any real distracting marks and it being semi-PL i'm leaning toward 68.
My first impression of the obverse was MS68, but I think the reverse fields are going to bring it down to MS67.
I went MS68. Looks to have some PL as well. Agree with Lehigh about the reverse bringing the grade down, but I left it at 68.
I thought he was the AU vote, due to the "cloudy" area that Ritchie mentioned--he thought that to be "wear."
I do see one person voted details.. I'm guessing that's his vote. I think we need a new "guess" poll thread, and we can all guess what HE grades a coin, not what it really is.
Here is the coin. No, the thread is a "guess the grade" thread. My friend's coin. Population 165. Only 5 at MS 69.
I thought the chatter on her neck and the hits on the reverse would've brought down the grade. Although, I have seen many worse 68s.
