westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 03/15/2013 06:02 am I'm at MS62/63 on this one. 1881-S is a Morgan date/MM that can look unreal in quality, and it takes an average MS65 to make a MS64 grade on this one and a few others It all depends on the luster (less any contact marks) which I imagine is subdued by the photo lighting rather than more than it looks in hand. MS64 in almost any other date/MM Morgan though. 1881-S seem to be held to a higher grading standard by the TPG's (since there are so many great looking ones, along with 1879-S) IMO. Here's some interesting numbers from David Bowers and PCGS: -The five most common MS-65 or better Morgan dollar issues are: 1881-S: 150,000 to 250,000 (the most common Morgan dollar in this grade) 1880-S: 125,000 to 175,000 1885-O: 100,000 to 175,000 1879-S, Third Reverse: 100,000 to 150,000 1882-S: 100,000 to 150,000 The following varieties all have estimated minimum populations of 100,000 or more coins in MS-64 grade: 1881-S: 400,000 to 600,000 (tied with the following most common Morgan dollar in MS-64 grade) 1885-O: 400,000 to 600,000 (tied with the preceding) 1884-O: 350,000 to 500,000 1887: 350,000 to 500,000 "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.
