IMO - That is a very common 1883 Morgan dollar. I would go XF. Numismedia.com has it at $21.00 USD.
These can be bought at most US coin stores from the silver dollar bins for $15 to $20.

Morgan Silver Dollar, 1883, 90% silver, 10% copper. In very good condition, slight amount of wear, but as stated already the rim dings would hold back a high grade. I would say EF-40.

My first thought when I looked at the digital photos was the back looks like a hard strike. The scanned photos look better. Must have been the lighting.

Here's what we usually see as an 1883 Morgan (This one is an O mint mark):
Your coin's look could definitely come from being in a pocket for awhile.

I have seen these like this all the time. As a matter of fact I just sent one with the same appearance to a fellow member. Mine was one of my pocket pieces I used to carry around and that is when it got the color as all are describing in this thread, it was real black when I started but I guess rubbing in my pocket after awhile it took on the lighter gray color except for on the devices those looked kind of polished also because they were what rubbed most on the pocket material I guess
