    64+, maybe 65 if that's a minor luster break on the cheek. I don't think it will make 66 with the cheek abrasion and neck hit no matter how minor. The fields are super clean though. This is one that will be hard to acuratly grade from a static pic

    65. Fields are clean but that mark on Anna Williams' face is probably large enough to be measured with a ruler.

    I will post the grade in the AM, and when I do I believe that buy the coin.... not the slab or grade will hit home. The photos does not do justice to the coin . In hand this coin is spot on no question. I was watching the door at the show today the dealer next to me had this coin. His case had some really nice Morgans. I walked the room several times looking for something that was eye catching. I looked at several series I collect. While all the time my shows pick was in the case I was standing next to. This coin has eye appeal and for that reason alone I pulled the trigger . :)

    That sounds like a hint that we've all aimed high. I'll be shocked if it says 63 on the label.
