Here is an 1881 S Morgan......

[Bruceswar]

Here we have an 1881 S Morgan that I would like you to Guess the grade on. It is slabbed by PCGS.. These shots are ok... but they do not show the luster on this coin... its rather pleasing.... Take a guess... You may be suprised...

MS64.......looks like one of those coins whose image hides some of the marks on the face and neck.......otherwise I would grade it higher.

[truthteller]

MS62.

67 PL !!

 

(By the pics - if the pics don't hide too many marks)

 

Sweet coin.

66

I'd go with 66 also. It sure looks like a good strike, with no major distractions, but it is hard to tell for sure. None of my 64's or 65's look that good. (They are probably a little tougher on 81-S's though, since there are so many really nice ones out there!)

[Bruceswar]

so far someone has it right..... what it says on the slab....

[Jazzy]

I hope for your sake that my grading is correct.

 

Very small pops on 81S 67 PL's from any of the good TPG's.

[Bruceswar]

I wish I could say you were right.... but thats not what is on the holder...

[Hoot]

What the hey - I'll call it a 65. Hoot

[truthteller]

Well, what's the grade?

 

 

 

 

TRUTH

[Bruceswar]

since you ask... The grade on the holder is MS 62... It is an old PCGS Rattler.... I think it would upgrade about 2 points... the holder is a bit scratched which makes it hard to photo the coin.... I don't plan to send it in.... I like the old holder.... I was able to pick up this piece at the current MS 62 price... a few months back...

I've had tons of 1881S Morgans graded. Since this coin is the most frequently encountered Morgan with exceptional luster and quality of strike, this date must have really clean surfaces to get anything higher than an MS64. Even superb PL coins would come back only MS.

Lighting is a problem on this - but there is issues around the ear / Cheek near ear / below neck / scratch above 'we' on reverse / Cartwheel impossible to see /

possible scratch right side of wing / miscellaneous tic tacs on reverse / PCGS rated

 

MS62

[Bruceswar]

This is a very old photo of this coin... I will pull it out soon and correctly photo it... Its a very nice coin if you ask me... the holder is a bit scratched up from the years... but still nice It has a double cartwheel luster effect

[TerrapinWill]

Sure looks like a 65 to me from the photos. But Ill guess 63

[wam98-migration]

I like the photo of your coin. Before reading the results, I would grade it a 64.

A real looker IMO.
