    The scans don't do justice to this 1879s (need to purchase a digital camera ) but this morgan is one of my favorite coins.
    It has great luster and a semi frosted relief on the reverse.
    Im thinking possible MS-64 if i decide to submit it for grading.
    It lists for only 60$ in MS-64 ,but thats bound to increase over time.

    Hi SS,
    Morgan's are also one of my favorite US coins. Nothing like a big ol chunck of silver, except of course gold. But the main thing is to collect what YOU like.

    Look at the pics in posts #18 and #21 of the two 1879-S in the thread:
    Nice Top 50 Peace dollar Spider

    nesvt submitted his coin to Leroy Van Allen of Van Allen and
    Mallis. The VAM guy. It came back as a new find 1879-S "Beauty Mark"
    VAM 48a. R6.

    I only own 2 1879-S Morgans. One of them happened to be the 2nd known
    R6 VAM 48a. Take a look at yours. You never know, you may have the 3rd.

    If those scratches on the cheek are on the coin, not the holder, I think they would keep the coin from reaching MS64. :(

    The bigger scatch is on the case the smaller one is on the coin, but im hoping the overall condition will help balance it out
