D. This coin is a 1879-s with the reverse of 1878. I don’t know much about coins so please judge the coin's condition using the photos posted. This coin is in raw & uncertified condition. Looks to be in extriemely fine condition except for the darkness of color.

1. Looks like 1879, can't see any mint Mark below wreath.
2. So the 1878 rev has no standing here.
3. You can call it XF based on wear. Photograde.com is a good site for nailing down condition.
4. Color actually not very relevant to this grade, toning is a distinct characteristic from level of wear. Just tells us this is original, don't clear it!
5. Value $28.
