1904-S NGC MS-63.

1904-S NGC MS-63.
|
|
For MS-63, the obverse displays the typical faint abrading that always seems to define the grade, while the reverse probably grades a point higher. If only cholesterol worked like that. |

1904-S NGC MS-63.

Two 1904-S PCGS MS-63.

1904-S PCGS MS-62 (rattler).

1904-S PCGS MS-62 (rattler).

1904-S PCGS MS-62.

1904-S PCGS MS-63.

|
1904-S PCGS MS-63.

Quite chippy for MS-63, with many tiny abrasions visible in the obverse fields. This has no impact whatsoever on the locomotion luster, which booms and bellows through the fields on both sides. ... |

1904-S NGC MS-64.

Smooth and creamy, like peanut butter on hot toast. Stars are well defined, and the both sides are unexpectedly free from even moderate detraction. And that's why choosy mothers choose Jif. |

1904-S PCGS MS-63.

1904-S NGC MS-62 Golden Gate Collection.
