Here is my first 1881-S. Thoughts on this one?   |

Lots of marks, but small; hard to tell luster from these photos. Not a super sharp strike for an 1881-S.
I'm at MS63 net.

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."

MS-62 tops, lighting could be hiding contact marks that could drop it to a 62.

Probably 63 but can't tell from the photos whether it has good luster.

Can't really see the luster here. I think this pictures could be covering something up. MS-63 based on what I can see

Agree with 62/63. She's been peppered a few too many times for a higher grade.

the glare from the lighting is obscuring the surfaces especially the entire left side of the obv which is critical. I agree with paralyse. this is a little weaker than normal strike for the year. pretty sure she is MS. scuffing and discoloration and marks on both sides
if might make MS63 however a lower end 63 imo.
