I'm with the MS65 crowd on this one. Nice looking coin!

I new it was around MS-64/65 area. (Which is why I said 64+)

I was not sure why everyone was saying MS-63, I thought I was missing something.

Very Nice Coin

I thought for sure it would have a star designation. Excellent eye appeal IMHO.

I still have to say MS63, unless the photos are deceiving. The coin appears to have average luster, average strike, and too many small nicks for me. Also not a very clean look. I own about 15, 1881-S's in MS63 and the above coin is similar in appearence. I also have a couple in 64 and a couple in 65. The 64's and 65's I have are very frosty and lustrous with super clean cheeks. 1881-S's are known for their super quality looks.

How about a side-by-side? Post your's alongside BrickellCat's and let us see the difference. This would be a great learning experience for all of us and should generate lots of discussion on the nuances of grading. Thanks.

If I had slabbed 63's that looked that good, I'd be looking into re-submitting for upgrades.

Seated Nut, Sorry, as I've posted before I can't post photos from my computer or don't know how. I just can't figure it out. I have old style dial up. I feel bad that I can't contribute this way. If in the future I figure this out I will definately have a lot to post! Sorry..sorry..sorry!
