I have some Morgan dollars that have a very shinny surface and are difficult to photograph. The shinny area comes out black due to reflection. Any idea what they are. What grade? Most of them are S mint. In person they look almost white.

The 79-S and 80-S appear to be MS63 or possibly 64. The 82-S AU-55 and the 83-P AU-58.

1879 and 1880 IMHO are solid MS-64.
THE 82 to my eyes looks to be MS=60
your final photo MS-61 or 62.
Very nice frosty Morgans coins you should be
proud to add to your collection.

On that 1883, bottom coin I see many thought this was an MS coin. Does anyone see the rub and friction on the neck, cheek and in the field to the left or is it just me?

I dont see the rub, but then again grading from pictures is very hard for me.
With my eyes I need the coin in hand and a good light source.

79 is one fantastic coin.
I dislike the 82 and wonder if there are whiz marks from cleaning

In the late 1950's when I was making fifty cents an hour at a part time job I started collecting silver dollars. There were two banks in town. I would buy $50 worth of dollars in one bank. Take them home and keep the ones that I wanted and get paper for the duplicates at bank two. This way I didn't see the same coin twice. I looked through several hundred. The coins were well mixed by date and MM so these all were probably circulated to some extent. I managed to collect 73 Morgans and 21 Peace at face value. It is possible but I don't know why someone would try to enhance a face value coin.

I do have a 1904 which still has some mint luster on it that was seriously brushed to make a belt buckle, another face value coin.
