  Sorry about the size, usually pictures re-size them self with imageshack. Here are some smaller ones.
  
  Reverse images were there as well, just needed to scroll over since the picture was so large

  Are the grainy looking (orange peel) surfaces in the large pic LDS or just over pixalation?

  Low 66. 65+ on a really bad day.
  
  Chatter behind the head matters less than cleaner cheek and field in front of the face.

  Dip it and it'll maybe make a seven but the tone and the chatter in the right obverse field
  is going to hold it back to some graders. Looks to have some mirror but the that might be
  the picture. Sure wouldn't kick it out of my collection for eating crackers. I's Like's it.

  Is this a guess the grade ( meaning...is it already in a holder ) ? Either way, WTF..I'll say 67 ( since no one else has dropped that number yet )

  Definitely a 65 with a shot at 66, 67 is a stretch.

  All the best,

  65 from the photo. But in hand if the photo understates the luster I could see it making a 66. If the marks behind Liberty's head in the field were in front of the face you might be looking at a 64, but the area the marks are in isn't considered a main focal point on the coin.
  
  A nice looking coin!

  even for an 81 S that's one clean coin. Looks to be a 66.

  I'm in the 64 or 65 camp, even though it is very clean. Chatter behind Liberty should keep from 66 and has subdued luster, either as rusted die or late die strike, not up to what an 81 S should have which I believe reduces grade. Nice clean coin.

  I also see a bag mark(s) at her mouth along with the chatter behind her head.
  The rev is amazing.

  Solid gem cheek and a superb reverse. I don't think a few well hidden field marks are going to drop this under MS65. I'd have no problem with this in a 65 holder, plus or not.
