    Tough one. Good eye appeal, but an 1881 S, and maybe a few wispy hairlines? ... MS65

    My first thought after looking at the obverse was AU58, but I'm going to say they graded it MS64.

    This is one that I would like to see in hand. I'd guess 65.

    Edit: After looking at it a bit more and seeing the videos and images on Instagram, I'm now guessing 63 if it straight graded.

    And the answer is...MS 61
    This is likely a net grade. Take a look at the link below (scroll to the second screen) and you'll notice the marks that show up when the coin is tilted at a certain angle. There are other small hits, but the ones in that video are the most dramatic. Should it have been detailed for that? Maybe. The MS 61 decision suggests that the marks were not missed and the graders likely thought that the color was nice enough to merit a straight grade.

    I see those marks that you just added, and those could be the result of bag marks. The finer marks in front of the face and behind the head are the ones that remind me of a circulated coin.
