<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 7288562, member: 22377&quot;]The mirrors might be just enough deeper on the 1887 to call it PL. From your photo, it looked more PL than the 1881-S. Both are common dates in the Morgan series, so while the 81-S is often graded conservatively, the 87 is too. </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the grades, something still looks slightly off about the 1887, so the 61 might be a &quot;net&quot; grade. It&#039;s not baggy enough to be a 61 but there might be some other issue that lowered the grade 1-2 points instead of the graders giving it a &quot;details&quot; designation. The 81-S looks better than 64. I&#039;ve seen a small handful of these 64s over the years that look much better. Sometimes they will regrade higher but it is often still not worth it (spending ~$25 in order to get a $30-$50 bump isn&#039;t the best risk given decent odds it still comes back in the same grade). Prudent collectors (like you) will seek these out and they make for a great purchase if you pay below 65 money for a coin every bit as good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
