GTG: 1881-S Morgan Dollar

This is one of a pair of coins that make up the first graded coins, I have bought in close to 2 years. I figured if I was going to buy a graded coin, it may as well be a nice coin. And of course it needed to be a Morgan...... LOL. I guess I'll make this a poll as well, as that seems to be the trend now.

MS-64

 

Besides the little ding in the eagles breast the devices are amazing.
If it wasn't for the chatter an the obverse fields I think it would go higher. Superb photos JT.

 

I think the obverse carries it to MS65

 

MS65 - a different date and mm and probably 66 with that smooth cheek.

 

64. TPGs are brutally tough on that date.

 

I'm not sure it doesn't deserve a details grade.

 

Please clarify? Why do you think it should be a details grade? I'm genuinely curious.

 

I'm probably off base, but that hit on the eagles breast is pretty severe at least in the photo.

 

The obverse is 66, but I think the hit on the eagle's breast keeps it at MS65.

 

I don't think you are off base at all. I just want to know what people are thinking. I appreciate your feedback and thank you for responding.

 

MS 64 It looks like something affected (discolored) the lettering on the reverse, especially AMERICA.

 

Ms66

 

Oh, yeah I guessed MS65

 

66

 

I'll parrot others opinions that the obverse is 66 or better but the eagles breast keeps it to 65. I have one similar, should be a 67 but there is a hit on the eagles beast and they graded it 65.

 

A few too many hits for me to go above a MS-64.

 

64. Would be 65 but for the hit on the breast.

 

I’m in for a 65

 

I had the exact same thought. MS65 due to the hit on the reverse.
