    The 1880-CC doesn't need to be graded since it's in a slab.
    Here's a look at it.

    The first two (1880 & 1880 O) are pretty scratched up, but they still have nice details, so I would put them in the AU range.

    The 80'-S looks good from the pics I would say around 63. It looks like it has a little bit of toning, the only thing I though looked a little strange was at 4 O'Clock on the obv (see the pics). Hows the luster on the coin?

    Thanks for the look.

    Interesting.
    I must grade tougher.
    I see the 1880 as only XF.
    I agree with AU on the "O".
    I think what you are seeing on the "S" is the result of a bad image, but I'll dig it out and take a closer look. If there's no problem I'll call it a -62 or -63.

    My first thought actually was XF, but I think it has enough detail to be low AU. Nice coins btw!

    I agree with you - on the S I would go 63. It looks nicer than what I would give a 61 or 62.

    Okay, I've restored the images for the 1880 Morgans.
    Please give me your grading opinion.

    OK, first coin- I agree XF since the luster seems confined to just around the devices- very little wear to be seen.
    Second coin- AU53-55, again depends on how much luster is remaining, looks very nice.
    Third coin-- definitely MS-- looks like 63 for sure, maybe 64 if not too baggy.
    all in all, a very nice set.
