66, I only see one substantial mark.
Edit: That one substantially mark turned into 2, 3, 4, and 5. As such I’m lowering my guess to 65.

My highest-grade Morgan is MS64/CAC, so I don't have a basis for grading coins that are better than that one of mine. But I think that this coin is better than my MS64/CAC.
64+

65 tops

Nice coin, very few marks and a lot of luster.
But I suspect there is just a little bit of "rub" on the high points (such as the Eagle's chest).
As such, I guess MS62.
I changed my input from 67 to 66. I didn't spot the little nick on the chin at first glance.

I’d grade the coin MS64, as the luster looks flat to me.

AU 58+ or MS64, hard to tell with the subdued luster. Not many hits/marks .
64
Thanks for your thoughts everyone, having the coin in hand the luster is nice but not enough to get past MS64 even for an 1881-O coin. I personally think it would grade as 62 or 63 but perhaps I'm being a bit tough on it. Anyway thanks.

MS63 if the luster is there. Can't really tell much of anything else from the pictures provided.
63, shot 4 ... or AU58, I really can't tell

MS65 would be my guess. Luster seems a little flat but relatively clean fields. Overall nice date, nice coin!

63 / looks dullish
I think you could get a 65.

MS60 cleaned.
Not good at this game, and feels like a trick question with dull image.
Hit on the eagles chest and some other marks on reverse... hmmm
But the obverse looks clean...
Leaning 65, but will go with my first guess of 64
I have seen worse looking 64's unless the photo is hiding some obverse issues.

This date is noted for dullness and weak strike. They don't get high grades. I don't like the hair flatness that seems to go all the way up, not just above the ear.
I'll guess MS 63+. If it was mine, AU 58.
64 due to reverse hits. Weak obverse.

MS64, unless there is a problem not evidenced in the photos. VAM-53 by the way too.
I’ve literally never seen a coin of any type anywhere close to as clean as this one, which graded MS60. And it doesn’t give any indication of deserving a “Cleaned” assessment, either. Other than that, I think you nailed it.
