PCGS 1881-S Morgan Dollar - Guess The Grade!

Hello everyone!

I picked this beautiful 1881-S Morgan up the other day, and decided to share it with you all. It has been graded by PCGS, and I wanted to do my first "Guess the grade" topic, so here it is! :hail:

I will post the grade PCGS had given it on the 15th. Have fun!

P.S. If anyone has any information on what that "thing" is on the obverse around 9 o'clock, that would be helpful

Is it in a new holder or older type holder?

In the older type Toad (Green Label)

 

I've found that ones in older holders have a tendacy to have a tad bit lower grade than most of the ones in newer holders, that's why I asked. So, since it's in a older holder, I'd guess MS-63. :thumb:

You could crack it and send it in and probably get MS-64 out of it, with how they grade now.

Sweet coin!

Ps: Is something going on with the mint mark? :kewl:

Nice coin Ryan.

 

MS 63 ?

63

 

Hmm, nice look on that Mint Mark Toad. As a matter of fact, the top of the "S" is either doubled, or has some kind of die problem? :bigeyes:

EDIT: Here is a better picture of the "error"???

 

that looks like remnants of a repunched mint mark.

 

Possibly scarred when it was repunched? :kewl:

MS-63 , with good eye apeal .

It is a shame that the obverse is not in the same condition as the reverse. I like the coin but I also think the obverse marks in the focal areas will limit the grade to an MS63. Not to worry, the price does not really start to rise on the 1881-S until you reach gem state so MS63 & MS64 makes little difference. Nice coin with a typically strong 81-S strike. Congrats.

 

Boy does this day keep getting better! (date is doubled)

 

Possibly this:

I'm not good with VAM's so that's a guess.

Or is it this:

I really suck at VAM's.

Here is a much better pic of the date:

 

Here are some weird clashes/die errors on the coin?
