Hey all. How would you grade this Morgan? I liked the look so I purchased off of ebay. These are the sellers pictures.

Left obverse field is hard to see. In hand photos will help. About MS-63 or 64.

MS-63, maybe 64, but large portions of the surface on both obverse and reverse are washed out and overexposed, so it's impossible to tell what's hiding in there.

The 1881-S is well known for great strike and eye appeal. Depending on what you paid for it,you should be able to find a real nice one at a decent price.

64, guessing it doesn't look quite as well in hand.
Rest in Peace

64 and I'm thinking those photos are tilted to enhance appeal. The easiest high grade Morgan.
Rest in Peace

MS63+ maybe 64. Hard to tell what's hiding in the shadow. One thing about this seller's auctions is he has quite a following and many coins hammer a bit steep for raw in my opinion. It's not uncommon to find bidder histories at 100% for this seller.

It's hard to see with the lighting, but I think that vertical slash will limit it to MS-64.
