    First one looks like AU55 or so.

    Second one is very tricky, I can barely see any marks, I think better pictures would be needed, white-balance, lighting and details wise. It certainly looks uncirculated and my guess would be MS65 from the photos or higher, it looks very clean, but I think the pictures are deceiving.

    the pictures are not very well lit and so it is difficult to give you a grade that i can feel confident in. that said, my best guess from those pics:

    1st one XF, second one is hard to tell because the luster is indistinguishable in the photo. My guess is that it's AU, but the 1881-S is one of the most common Morgan Dollars and most are very well struck. If it is indeed uncirculated, it's likely MS-64 but from that lighting I might as well have said MS-85, because it's a guess.

    AU-55/58 just some slight rub over the ear, and then MS-65 nice sharp strike not a lot of detracting marks, very nice

    Hard to tell but lower ms.
    62-64. too much wear on the eagles brest to warrant a 65.
