Yep. Looks nice and original.

With the amount of abrasions, I'm thinking 61 or 62

Looks like a strong 63 to me. All you have to do now is figure out a way to change that 1 into a 3.

Is it just me...or is that a fingerprint near the date?

its not just you. There is a finger print. But still a nice coin!

It's definitely a 63 with a shot at 64. Is that skin hiding all the luster?

Is that a scratch across the eagle? Personally, I think 63 is a stretch on this coin. I would be more inclined to say 61.

Nice looking Morgan. Lot of contact and a fingerprint is noticed over the date. Would be a nice 63 but I think I would have to be conservative on this and go 62.

Please, let's not get carried away. If that coin were to make it into an MS-64, grade-flation would be hitting new lows. They might put a coin with that number of abrasions in a 64 holder if it were a CC dollar. It would not belong there, but it happens. But with an 1891-S, I don't think so.
