GTG: 1904-S Morgan Dollar

What would you grade this coin? It's in a PCGS holder, likely late 90's/early 2000s blue label.

AU-Detail (Cleaned)

 

It does look cleaned with all those scratches.

 

I say AU 53 if it straight grades. That's a tough cookie to acquire! The scratches are in a random sequence so maybe they give it a pass from circulation, in other words it doesn't appear to be systematic intentional wiping. I've seen PCGS straight grade coins with more trauma. It's a nice coin considering the rarity in that condition. Oh, and one of the "scratches" through the date isn't a scratch, nice die crack.
