Please let me know your grade and PL opinion on this one. Again, sorry for the limited micro cam photo width. I'm looking for a new one. Thanks, Gary     |

I will say ms63 though I dont think it would get a pl designation by a TPG due to the spot on the obverse chin area & the reverse doesn't look as nearly pl. I've been collecting for a couple years... Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set | Coffee, Corvettes, Coins & the CCF what could be better? |

To me it looks like it could be gem (MS65 or higher) and PL but unfortunately that cannot be determined from these pictures. The first picture does look like it could be GEM PL, but looks can be deceiving as lighting has a huge role in the appearance of coins in photos.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I'll say MS-64PL, but these pics are of an 1880-S  to the CCF! Edited by Coinfrog

i think there is just a hair too many marks and scuffs across the cheek and neck as well as several scratches on the left obv field. MS63+ possible PL. you really need to remove the coin from the holder to take photos

On the first pic why are the fields also frosty like the devices?
That's very odd and I've never seen that.
I'm going Unc details altered surfaces

@Numismatics FTW: You certainly could be right. It's hard to tell with photos. To the naked eye in natural light, with a 10x loupe, the surface of the fields appears to have a very light white semi-transparent patina, where as the devices have a definite mint frost. We'll see what the TPG says in a couple of months. :-) |

I see an 1880 S morgan, not the 1882 S indicated in the title.
