Too much glare to assess surfaces accurately.

IMO it's a slider.
Probably AU-58.

Need better pics to judge.

I wouldn't take the chance on buying this with these pics.

Agree that there's way too much light to assess the surfaces.

Not possible to tell from these photos if the coin has been dipped.

I had a few hours ten minutes while my wife was on the phone talking to her sister, so I played with the photos. I hope you don't mind. This was the best I could do. It's likely that these photos are darker than the coin would appear in hand.

Well yes, the photos don't appear to give a genuine assessment of the color.

But if the luster is in fact natural, and if there really is nary a scratch, rub, worn spot or other distraction, I would have to say something outrageous, like MS67+. The 1881-S is one of maybe three Morgan dates where even might be able to afford to splurge on a top-graded specimen. There is a relative surplus of 1881-S Morgans in outstanding gem condition.

No way to tell from those photos could be anywhere from AU-58 to MS-67.
