    MS63 assuming what looks like rub on the obverse high points is bag rub exaggerated by the toning. I wanted to say 64 but the hit under the eye told me not to... Still a pretty coin regardless the numerical grade number.

    I'm not a Morgan person and certainly not a proficient grader, but looking at the above photos, I would say MS64/5. The stain on the reverse distracts from the overall look of the coin, but the few bag marks aren't offensive, IMHO.

    Not that high. More like a 63 with nice toning. Obverse is a 63, because of prominent hits. Obverse is 64+. Overall, a nice coin, but not a gem grade.

    Nice looking coin. The hits above and below the eye limits this coin IMO. Add in the bag rub on the obverse high points and I am at MS 63

    The cheek on the obverse looks really clean, as does the entire reverse, and the color adds a nice touch to it, but the luster seems week and a it faded. Normally I would say MS64 or 63, but the holder looks like ANACS to me, so I'm going to say an ambitious MS65 (I find that ANACS way overgrades Morgan dollars)

    I am at MS64. I think that the toning might be hiding a few things. Yet, the coin is attractive. I don't think that the hits keep it back.
    It's much cleaner than what most think of a brilliant MS63, and not a 63 slider

    I don't see any wear...but there are a couple large hits in prominent areas on the obverse especially. I would call it an MS63...but the toning does add some nice original eye appeal to the coin so I suspect it got a bump to MS64.

    MS 64 (looks like an Anacs holder)...obverse looks stronger than reverse; it has fairly clean fields and cheek (I don't think the hits are strong enough to take it down much)...something is a bit unusual about the reverse but the coin overall is attractive

    If it is an ANACS holder, guess I'll have to go with at least MS64.

    MS65 PL would be my guess.

    I see no indications of PL reflectivity, striations from die polish, or cameo. It does not appear PL. I called it 63, and am sticking to it, although I agree with @CamaroDMD and @ddddd that toning and eye appeal could have bumped it to 64. I just do not see it as gem grade.
