what is the grade of this morgan

This coin looks very very shiny. It's over 130 years old. Has it been preserved in a glacier? If it's not original (this much luster/ high grade would be very expensive).
Silver which has circulated a little will have a very distinctive patina. So you have to ask yourself, what happened to this coin to make it this shiny? Anything that was done is going to lower the value not raise it. But many people will take coins like this, polish them up and then sell them at higher prices to non collectors. (Flea market, etc.)
That's one possibility. Better photos might show a more natural coin, or, whatever the seller was trying to hide.

Yep, it definitely looks like the seller was attempting to hide the flaws, but didn't/ couldn't hide the polished look simultaneously. At least there's the return policy (maybe), and a lesson learned in the process.
There are sellers here on C.T. that will give good/fair deals on coins. With decent pics.

 

GoldFinger i got it off of ebay for $55.00 and when i get it in hand i will take some pics and post them

 

I have seen lacquer create that effect - Keep us informed / Curious what more normal pictures look like

 

Just checked out the seller - No Real Red flags
Its probably a coin that BB'd and he is dumping the remnants.

 

Here is some more pics of the morgan

 

I suppose you can't remove it from the holder if you want to return it? It still looks unnatural.

 

Looks like a coin I had that was lacquered … Makes everything look too smooth.

 

ok jgrinz thanks

 

Recently I've been seeing some Washington quarters on Ebay that look a lot like this - very shiny almost proof, but, at least with the quarter, a slight loss of detail. Almost like were given an additional coating to hide flaws. Of course I don't have one on hand to see if it was a trick of photography or some chemical process.

 

The photos are juiced. Avoid this seller like the plague

 

Here is the grade it got from NGC

 

Well, looks like a 62 in the new pictures. Maybe even a high end 62.
Not much resemblance to the previous pics though, obviously.
