    MS64 possibly 65. The reverse looks PL but the obverse appears to fall short.

    64 for me, maybe 63 with the scratches above IGWT ...

    Agreed, 64 possible pl sounds about right adjusting for the photo and lighting. Maybe 65 but better pics needed to tell. She does have some nice eye appeal

    Yeah, I'm at 64PL. It's really tough to decipher. :)

    Seems about right. Discount the darker "marks" on the cheek - they're almost certainly just frost breaks which won't really effect grading. If they were actual gouges/intrusions, they'd actively reflect light, like the (as-designed) indentation in the lower neck, and the scrape on the reverse above IGWT.

    The gouge on the upper reverse is bad, but it may well have been what kept this one from 65.

    The color of the toning, that's all....
    I've seen Morgan's and ASE's with similar color in the PCI yellow or green holders

    Looks more like hotel slab toning over pci heavy. Maybe though

    Yes Heavy you nailed it on the holder and close as one could get with the images provided . And once again slabs that others turn their noses up at have been winners for me. BTW I did a quick swing around the floor at Gettysburg looking for all the undesirable slabs. :)
