That area has thrown me fits in the past too trying to photograph, sometimes it can be clean as can be and straight on shots will look marked up there.

This one looks like a real winner, where did you find it at?

 

Are you sending it to be graded??? If so... which service??? It appears to be MS66, or better. Worthy of grading for sure. PCGS???

 

How do you find such a beautiful coin raw?

 

MS67 even with the slight cabinet fraction.

 

Is that the white spots on top of the cap, eagles chest and in the hair Dave?

 

Yup. Going to PCGS in the very near future.

Contrary to popular belief, not all coins worthy of being slabbed have been slabbed.

 

66

The 1881-S is notorious for great strikes and fresh dies.

67 is gonna be difficult to get on one of these

 

also contrary to this belief is the fact that every coin that looks like it should be slabbed can be...

 

yes, sometimes called bag rub as well.

 

Please post the results, on this post when you get it back.

 

I have found that most 1881-S Morgan's grade high. Looking at your photo I would say MS 65 but I am a conservative guy.

 

awesome rev with distinct feathers and scribble area... 66

 

It's a common year and the S-mint Morgans are known for an excellent strike. So the TPGs are stricter when grading those. I'd say 65+ or 66 max.

 

Very nice coin MS66 ..

 

PCGS gods have responded. UNC Cleaned.

 

Wow dont see that at all. Are there hairlines we cant see?

 

A cleaned coin is an easy out

 

Not all cleaned coins have been cleaned but some folks think so

 

From those pictures, I'm not seeing it. Funds available, I would send that Morgan to NGC.
