I'm not a $1 guy and rarely do I buy any but this grabbed my attention at a show last week. My photos generally are quite subpar but in-hand this has less orange and more violet and is just WAAAYY nicer than most every MS64 I see. I am a bit mystified how this got out of ATS without a + or a *, or both.
UPDATE: PCGS grade in ---MS66
and here are better images just so you can see 1) why I was drawn to the coin and 2) just what a crappy photographer I am

I think the expectations on the '81 S are just so very high that it takes a really spectacular coin to receive the higher grades. Out of all the Morgan issues this date tends to have the best strike and luster characteristics, jmho of course.
Very nice, I like it, congratulations !!!
Looks good to me.
The color is too dark for a star IMHO. The 1881-S is notorious for strong, flashy luster, and the luster on your coin is average or maybe even be a little below average for the issue.
Cameonut I certainly understand the comment because you are looking at a poor representation of the coin because of my lousy photos. The coin in hand has wonderful luster and flash.
No plus as its a "pre-plus" era coin.
I like that purple look nice piece even though its a 81s
Nice! An MS64 in that gen holder could be a 65 nowadays.
That's a really nice looking Morgan.
You were smart to pick up that unusual piece.

PCGS grade in OP - I thought so!
Felicidades!
Well-done!
I assume you submitted it raw. Is that right?
Congrats @georgiacop50.
Great eye! Nice score.
Congrats! I like it.
I have sinking feeling that you didn't pony up for a Trueview.

Excellent upgrade!
Congrats. I like the color. I am surprised at the 66 jump. Is that a divot/hit right on the cheek?
That electric blue reminds me of this one in my collection.

Even though I hate to see a Frankie guy go for a Morgan I can certainly understand why. Pretty looking coin.
