I purchased this morgan. It's currently graded MS65. I do see some PVC and a bit of tarnish I will need to deal with. I'm hoping it's a 65 or better. I've seen these old ANACS grades go either way.
This coin was graded in 1981, 43 years ago. The pictures kind of stink so I won't know for sure what the coin really looks like until it's in my hand.

My advice is do not touch it. Beautiful to my eye. If there is PVC, which I don't see, a soak or two in acetone would solve the problem. The toning is quite attractive and if you want a non-toned example just sell this one and buy a white one.

I just realized, after I wrote this, that you posted two different coins....lol
I fixed the thread title to something more suitable to what I am trying to convey.

1881 was 43 years ago?

Wow the 1898 looks gorgeous
Casual collector, mostly Morgans & Peace Dollars.

I really like that 1898!
And an 1880-O in... we'll call it MS64 for now... is no small order. Nice pickup!
If you don't mind me asking, what was the pocketbook damage done by these two?
