The brown covers up the cheek, the most important part in grading MS Morgans. Despite that, I see no marks on the cheek or anywhere else except for a large scuff on the reverse. I vote MS-66, with nice toning.

First thought was MS68 - however I do now see the light scuff on the cheek hidden by the toning, I think this one got a MS67+ at least, the 1880-S is pretty common in very high grade, I've had them up to MS68 in the past see: https://goccf.com/t/163942This coin is pretty close to my MS68 but I would need an in hand inspection before calling it that nice! Could use a slightly stronger strike on the obverse as well. Whatever the grade - this is one sweet Morgan dollar!  with tons of eye appeal! And maybe even as nicer than my old MS68. EDIT- I'm calling MS68 on this one! I just can't find a reason to not call it that after studying it for awhile.  I'd even bet CAC would agree! "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

I'll join the MS-67 camp.
Not many contact marks, but it does have the distracting toning across the cheek.

A really nice coin, the breast feathers aren't very clear but what the heck, there are very few contact marks and it has spectacular eye-appeal. MS-66+ for sure, 50% chance at a 67.

Little too much obverse chatter for me unless that's the plastic.
