Sorry, not seeing any luster in these pics. Perhaps try different lighting?.

Sadly that last photo shows how over dipped it is.

I agree it looks overdipped with very muted luster. It's a common date, and if it's a details coin, it's value is not much more than a circulated Morgan.

An over dipped Morgan dollar. I'll say MS-63 on the grade. Glad you passed on it. Errers and Varietys.

she has been overdipped. there's fine line between cleaning up a coin and moving into the details designation box. lighting/glare can enhance what if any luster remains and I think thats what we are seeing here. there are so many really nice 80(s) out there you don't need to buy sub-par examples of it.

i think the pics is taken in daylight I see not direct light. The seller is not a collector so its inherited coins. The back looks to have a satiny look or something |

Dip job, might straight grade but it's a poor quality example of a date that is easily available in very high grades
Might also be some rim issues

the major problem with your photos is twofold. one its in the holder. always take the coin out. you can always put it back in. the covering causes glare and clouding. never shoot at angles unless they are asked for.
try this if you are using a phone
1. if coin is in holder, remove coin from holder if possible
2. turn off flash
3. place coin on flat surface with indirect natural light. maybe a window sill in a cloudy day. Use a black or white background to avoid any reflective color
4. move phone about 3in from coin
5. zoom in using your fingers until the coin comes into focus and fills the cameras view finder. if your phone has a portrait selection use that and then press and hold on the coin in the view finder to AF lock it
6. hold phone steady. if you can't then place something on either side of the coin (like books) at that distance and lay phone between them. this will hold it steady and allow you to zoom and take the photo without any blurring
