1885-S PCGS MS-65.

|
|

1885-S PCGS MS-64 (green label).
|
|

1885-S PCGS MS-64.

1885-S PCGS MS-64.

Patchy hairlines in the field area below Liberty’s chin affect the grade of the 1885-S. The 1888-S features some semi-prooflike characteristics that probably exaggerate slightly the scattering of... |
