Please grade this 1899 and 1880-s morgan dollars if possible from the not so good
pictures I took.

1899

1880-s

The first one should be a MS60 Details coin, due to the horizontal scuffs on the cheek. Maybe slide marks?
The second coin looks quite nice, I'd say MS65.

64 probably on the 1899 the lines on the cheek make me think cleaned but I dont see any lines anywhere else.
65 probably on the 1880.

BB due to scuffs noted previously
64/65

Slide marks on the first coin may bring a 58, or a BB. Unfortunate, and probably not as visible in hand.

The 1880-S looks like an MS65.

1899 - MS62 or BB
1880 - MS65

Don't know if the 1899 will grade due to the slide marks and the gouge on the reverse, but the 1880-S looks like a frosty 65.

the 1880-S looks MS66

Why are slide marks and gouges any different then "bag marks" ie why would they cause a coin to BB rather than be graded. Damage is damage. I understand cleaning is not allowed but marks are marks as long as they are not from cleaning right?
