[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 3653293, member: 101855"]I wouldn't buy the top two if the they were charging MS-66* money. The 1880-S is a common coin in high grade, and a collector who knows his stuff is aware that better ones are out there. The first one has some minor marks on the cheek and dull spot in front of Ms. Liberty's forehead. The second one has a planchet defect on the cheek. When you get this grade level, those factors count. You don't have to pay big money for an 1880-S that has that. You will find another one without it. As for the 1886, yes, that coin looks to be "all there" for the grade.[/QUOTE]
