Ms62. 81s is like the most common ms coin. You can find very nice examples very easily.

Could make 63, but as noted, very common.

That is not an UNC coin. Obverse has wear on nearly every high point of the coin. I know its all "opinions" but if you give your input, you should be sure to actually look at the coin. I can see the argument for MS maybeeee if it was from New Orleans, but I have O mints with less wear that didn't even get a 60.....This coin looks like AU58, assuming the hairlines are not from cleaning. If so AU details.

It's actually hard to find 1881-S in less than 63. They were also one of the best struck coins in the entire series. The rub at the breast center on Reverse is indicative of an AU 55 or 58.

I gave a pass on the reverse just because I thought light might be washing away a bit of details, but obverse is clear as day, AU....With Not just on one, but most of the high points showing clear wear.

I'm not seeing an MS coin here, too many contact marks and the tone is only in the protected areas. Rub marks on the high points and center of fields. AU-58.

I agree it looks like a slider. AU+.

A solid slider AU. Lots of dealers would sell as UNC.
