Trying to get a handle on grading Morgan Dollars

I received four Morgan Dollars. Given the rough images, what would you grade each one of these? Thanks in advance. The 1881-S has more lustre than the image shows.

    What relicsncoins said. Those were my thoughts exactly.



    << <i>64
    64
    63+ (Maybe a low end 64)
    64 >>



    Coins #1 and #4, to my eyes (using a real horrible monitor) might have a squeakin' chance at 65. Dunno.

    I'll take a stab at these...

    1880-S MS64 Classic 64.

    1881-S MS64 This one is dark in the focal area of the obverse, so it's hard to say.

    1888-O MS64 Looks like it could maybe use an acetone dip.

    1898-O MS65 Could be downgraded by whatever's going on in the first "8", and on the revese though.

    Always hard to grade by photos but getting them to the TPG's on a good day might result is as follows:

    65
    65
    64
    65

    The only one with a shot at 65 is the 81. the 98 reverse keeps it from 65
