First off, let me say that I really wish I had better Imaging skills and/or equipment.....
Let's see how many of you folks can nail this one down!

I am seeing MS64 but I am also drinking modelos...

 

It's a Small ANACS MS-64

 

It would probably be in an NGC MS-65 today with a possible star depending on how that toning looks.

 

Ha ha, I'm drinking cinnamon apple angry orchard.... Very Tasty !!!!!

 

Hmmm, old ANACS holder.... MS-65. The little toning on the obverse bumped it up a grade lol

 

I love the small white Anacs holders, and, I think most Morgans in them are very accurately graded and/or undergraded!

 

I have a 1902 O in a small ANACS slab graded MS-65 and i think that's about right. I just like these holders. But im drinking bourbon so i like a lot of things right now.

MS-65

Edit: after another look I'm gonna go with a nice 64

Edit: Man I'm waffling, back at 65 now

 

too hard for me to see details My wild guess would be MS65

 

Throw out a guess
Take a chance!

 

Going to go MS 65.

 

MS65

 

I love them as well. Plus they usually develop some nice color at the top of the obverse as well. I have an 1888-O in the small holder just before it became ANACS. The label simply says "Official ANA Grade". If it wasn't so weakly struck, I think it would be a 64+ - 65. It's current grade is listed as MS-63.

 

I'm going 64. Got a nice cold yuengling going myself

 

Nice coin , I'd say 64 .

 

Yours is a pre-Amos ANACS slab, and is pre 1990 (or thereabouts iirc). Later white slabs are not quite as special, or at least to the point many like make them out to be. There's good and there's bad, and like any holder new or old, the coins inside need to be judged by their merits.
