Message:: [QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1929494, member: 37839"]I agree with the others.  While it is a pretty coin, it is an 1880s.  That is one of the most strictly graded dates in the Morgan series, along with 1881s, and 1882s.  There are many fine examples and superb strikes during the course of those there years.  TPGs are very tough on that date, and I don't think it is a high in grade 66 to me.  Had it been a "guess the grade" contest, I would have come in with 65+ and no green bean.  While it is a nice coin, if you are concerned with value, I would look  for a more dazzling 66 of that date.I would buy this one before I got the one you posted--the surfaces are cleaner.  I  also think it is a better buy: <a href="http://www.davidlawrence.com/inventory/viewitem.cfm/inventory/406244/inm/1880-S-%241-PCGS-MS66/snm/Morgan-Dollars/gnm/Silver-Dollars" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.davidlawrence.com/inventory/viewitem.cfm/inventory/406244/inm/1880-S-%241-PCGS-MS66/snm/Morgan-Dollars/gnm/Silver-Dollars" rel="nofollow">http://www.davidlawrence.com/inventory/viewitem.cfm/inventory/406244/inm/1880-S-$1-PCGS-MS66/snm/Morgan-Dollars/gnm/Silver-Dollars</a> PCGS price guide goes $365 for a MS 66 1880s.  So, that should give you an idea--I have seen many for low $300s.[/QUOTE]
