I think MS-63 is to low for that coin. But I wouldn't spend the money to get it regraded.

as I said MS64 would not surprise me so if it was resent I would not expect it to come back higher than that and not worth it for a regrade

Don't waste anymore money on grading . These are a dime a dozen !

Not worth the cost of re-grading, even if you got a 64.

There's a chance the scratch in front of the face (and those behind the head) were enough to bodybag it and they decided to holder it a couple points down since it's a gorgeous coin otherwise.
This coin was graded before "genuine" holders were available and before net grading was commonplace.

It's interesting how the "value" increases in PCGS for each step from MS63 on. For NGC, the increases are also exponential but not so steep. Nevertheless, would having NGC evaluate the coin help?
Stay well, Diy89Nurm7

The re-grade would be more for fun than for "value", I think I'd rather try for a gold bean if I can find a dealer to submit though - again just for a bit of fun to add to the stash.

Just would like to revive this to ask the community why they think this only received MS63? I've studied the photos and can't see much wear at all, just a few marks as mentioned by Fortcollins when he played around the contrast. I personally own different years graded MS63 that have tons more scratches and scuffs than this coin so it has me a bit confused. I'm not saying the TPG was wrong here, just wanting to know why they decided on '7 under perfect.' I'm only asking because I have recently purchased a Roll of 1881-S, and I should receive them tomorrow or Monday so I will be picking the best ones to post new threads on. They all look excellent and I'm really hoping to get MS67 out of at least one of them. But would love some tips on this specific year.

Many 81-S Morgans have PL or semi-PL surfaces that make it difficult to assess by photograph. This one has a scratch in front of the nose and some chatter in the fields that wasn't apparent in the original photos, although it still seems to be undergraded.

i had this one at MS65 possible 66 but after the 2nd set of photos I can see this no higher than MS64 and can see why they gave it MS63.
