    Strike: 64
    Luster: 65
    Eye appeal: 65+
    Contact marks: 64

    I put this at a strong 64. Reverse has nice mirrors, but these pictures don't look strong enough for a PL.

    Nice grading. Where'd you research how to grade like that? I can never tell what the grade of some of the things in my collection are.

    I see the obverse as a 63+ and the reverse as a 65 shot 66. I would net grade it at 64 since the obverse carries the most grading weight. The reverse has a nice PL surface and the obverse is semi-PL from what I can see.

    Final grade if you sent it to NGC I think would be a 64★.

    Well, I've been collecting and studying coins for 20 years now.

    If you want to know how to grade for yourself, I wrote a book about grading, which you can find in my signature below.

    It just misses the 65 mark. The reverse is real nice in the photos.
    To many breaks in the lustre to get a 65 on the obverse.
    MS 64

    64. The cheek marks prevent the 65 grade. Especially, with this date, that is one of the most common Morgans, with really nice examples, it would get no break from a TPG.

    The obverse cheek is just too baggy for me, I'm at MS63+ for this coin.

    Pretty thing. I'm going to say she'll top out at MS64, too. I got good eyesight. But those distractions are mostly just luster smudges, they're not cutting into her.

    Another PCI photo grade at MS 64 but in hand without a doubt proof like! By today's standards.
