<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 573320, member: 5233&quot;]For me, the strike doesn&#039;t hurt the eye appeal because this date is known for a poor strike.&nbsp; If I saw a 1881-S with that strike I would say that it absolutely hurts the eye appeal, but this is a normal strike for a 1884-O.&nbsp; So, I wouldn&#039;t knock it for the strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think people forget that each date/mint needs to have the strike evaluated for what that date is known for.&nbsp; An 1881-S and an 1884-O have very different typical strikes.&nbsp; You can&#039;t hold both to the same standard.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, the coin is very attractive.&nbsp; It does look like it has some pretty serve hits but it also looks like some of those might be scratches in the holder.&nbsp; It&#039;s kind of hard to tell which is which in the photo.&nbsp; I know the grade has already been announced...but I can&#039;t give a grade opinion because I am struggling to tell what marks are on the coin and what aren&#039;t.&nbsp; It&#039;s clearly MS because I see no wear and it has decent eye appeal (typical strike and nice toning).&nbsp; The numerical grade would depend on the marks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
