  Thanks for you opinions. I liked the coins because of how clean the cheeks and fields are on the coins.

  I most likely way off base here, but that 89 looks 58 to me, Its very clean and I like it.
  
  
  Hope I'm wrong.

  The 1889 Morgan is know for a lack of luster strick. I'm not surprised you said that, but the coin in hand does have more luster than the photograph represents. Thanks.

  The 1890 looks 63/64ish and the 1889 looks 64/65ish. Inference in your post says these are raw. Very unlikely that a raw 1890 would grade out MS65. It's a tuff coin to make as the standard is pretty strict. The odds are better on the 1889 but not too many dealers would sell a raw, shot MS65 1889 for cheap 63/64 money. More than likely these are just nice 63 to 64 coins, though if the 1889 were holdered as a 65 I could see why.
