Here is one of a few Graded Morgan's I picked up this week. Test your skills against one of the top three Companies. I added the sellers original pictures.

Pics make it hard to tell what's going on with the cheek. I blame the lighting. I'll speculate 65. I see it's PCGS, though.

I'm thinking solid 64 with a shot at 65

I'm in at 64, as mentioned the lighting makes it hard to tell though.. Could reach a 65. As you know, amongst others, 1881-S is known for such good strikes and blemish free coins that PCGS (and the other top two) are unusually conservative when grading which is why I'm in at 64...
Nice looking Morgan!

Based off the photo of the obverse it's MS63, maybe 64.

MS62 I think the cheek has too many ticks and scuffs to make it into a MS63 holder for this date. I wonder if they called a PL? Though it sure looks PL, PCGS can be awfully tough on PL and DMPL designations. 1881-S is similar to 1879-S and 1880-S they seem to hold these dates to a whole other level when it comes to certifying any high grade examples. They are also one of the most frequently slabbed coins by TPGs. In almost any other date and mint mark this is a solid MS63 or better coin IMO.

MS64 coin. Could be PL, but I guess it isn't.

Looks like I'm the lone dissenter here.  But I'm seeing way too many contact marks to get close to MS64 as I said, a solid MS63 in just about any other date/mint mark combination, except 1879-S & 1880-S. Looks like this coin is graded by PCGS, and I don't think it's PL either, but that part is throwing me for a loop, it sure looks like a toss up for a PL designation. I know PCGS is tough on that on all dates.  "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
