Which one would you submit?
All are under yellow light as I couldnt find my ott light.

First one is a 1880s. The huge scratch on the obverse is on the slab. Has nice color and the obverse is proof like. This one is in a OGH.

Next is an 1881s with amazing luster, and one of the best "cheeks" image I have seen.

Last is a 1883o. Also with a nice cheek and luster.

    All are really nice,but I dont think you would be able to recover your shipping fees to and from even if one did get the +.Whats the difference between 65 and 65+ for those dates and MM's?

    Difficult to say, they all seem to have flaws that might keep them out of the top 15%. Especially considering how common the dates are and the large sample of 65's there are. If I had to choose one, I would probably go with the 81S

    It's a freebie, what does it matter? You never know if one of them could be upgraded. image

    I say it will either be 65+ or 66. It's a NICE coin.

    I haven't seen enough "plussed" coins yet, to have a guess on that.
    But, (from the pic,) I'd be kinda surprised if it would 66.

    The 81-S has the best chance at an upgrade... go for it!

    The 81-s has the best chance of plussing. Also it appears to have some slab scratches that a reslab would take care of.

    Please let me know what grade you get for the 1880! I have one also in the OGH and am thinking of sending it inn! Here is a photo the cheek as well as the back is in wonderful shape. I wonder if I would get a 65?

    Try the 81-S...............Hard to say what's going to be in the top 10-15% of Morgans for the grade on non rare dates/mintmarks.........Good luck and report back! MJ

    1) No chance for a "+"

    2) May get a plus

    3) May get downgraded due to a weak strike

    Not worth it to submit common MS-65 Morgans. On coins like that, the Plus will likely be worth $10 to $20 tops, if that.

    However, if you want to do it for fun, or to test your grading skills, have at it.
