I'm not sure if this is a Morgan from SF or not. Can find a VAM on this coin. There is no mint mark, so it could be Philly. I say it might be from SF because I have a Morgan with only the top of the "S" with serif.

Polished? It has tinting at the top of the obverse and tinting at the bottom of the reverse. Looks like a "PL"

I think I can shed some ideas here...
with what others are saying, that it looks polished, with what looks like an S mintmark that got polished down to not very visible. Your second from last photo shows die scratches which can be a great way to pin down the VAM. If only this coin could talk...
Rest in Peace

It looks like a heavily polished example of 1887-P VAM-3A. Not worth much at this point unfortunately. http://www.vamworld.com/wiki/1887-P_VAM-3A
