    Looks like some wear on Libertys hair by her ear. Not sure if that's actual wear or just from a weak strike.
    If it is MS, I'd guess it's about a 63. Hard to judge by those photos though.
    People with more experience than me in Morgans should have a better idea for you.

    It is a MS63 granted that it is not a chinese fake

    Nothing visible even remotely suggests a fake, but I wouldn't venture even a grade/condition guess based upon these photos. It's always best to remove coins from their holders (when possible) before imaging them.

    I'd say from the pics it's just an educated guess , I'm in the 63 area , and agree with Books that it's real . I always wonder why people yell fake when there's no reason for it . Also there's some varieties with the '78 Morgan , check the tailfeathers to see how many there are . As they started with 8 feathers , then corrected it to 7 , but some show 7 1/2 feathers . Then there's straight arrow feather on top and angled feather on top . Wish you could take the coin out of the holder and get a clearer shot of both sides , but especially the reverse .

    I would also say MS63 but hard to tell in the flip. Alot going on with the chin area from the pic.

    Take the coin out of the holder before taking pictures.

    Otherwise they are useless

    The picture needs to be in focus to even guess at a grade. It's real. Can't tell if it's a 7 over 8 TF or just a straight 7 TF. reverse is #2. The surface looks splotchy like it was not rinsed properly after a dip.

    I'd check the tail feathers closely.

    Poor image. Can't grade from blurry and overly close in photograph. Probably MS, but really can't tell.

    The lighting makes it hard to tell what's going on, there. MS63, giving it the benefit of the doubt.
