Eating some crow myself today, grade here.
Looks even better in hand than I expected and I expected it to look pretty good. Been a good week.

Your obverse looks like something from @AuroraBorealis .... Really nice Reverse
Great pictures .... Cheers, RickO
I look at all your posts... your photography is excellent and you have nice coins. True, I am not a fan of tarnish, but can still admire a coin with good details and luster. Plus, there is frequently a tarnish free reverse to admire...
Cheers, RickO
I think it has a wonderful band of green, a money color. the obverse will probably limit the grade, though, even with the clean reverse.
PCGS --- MS63+.
NGC --- MS64*.
what works against it is that the three primary marks, one in the hair, two in the fields, are fresh and untoned which makes them easily visible. I suppose the color is bright and vibrant, is that true??
Awesome coin...personally, I like beautiful toners with clean reverses. I like the contrast.
Thanks for sharing!
For a fan of colorful toners that one is lovely. I like it a lot. Normally I prefer color but somewhat more muted and bullseye, but that is a special example. Congrats.
A very pretty coin, there are a lot of bag marks and hit on libby's face, and something going on around the bottom of her nose, but overall a stunning coin. Are you getting it graded?
Nice looking coin.
I get stoked seeing others actually enjoy their hobby. I share your exuberance , friend.
Not every day but ALMOST every day is a very good deal to me. Good Pick Up @FadeToBlack
Congrats on your new pickup. You are on a major roll with these Morgan's.

Beautiful obverse toning on a MS-61 or 62 coin.
Thats a beauty!
Love that toning!! ... when your hot... your hot.. and you're hot.
ditto totally!
If that is spam, spam on!
Is that toning the bright neon toning? If so, NICE! I'll go along at 64.
That one is gorgeous regardless of what it grades.
No spam here...just great coins.
Congrats!
PS-I really like your enthusiasm.

Sweet !!!
Nice coin. Very CACable in a P63+ holder.
...nothing like a good hat-trick in the middle of summer...Hell Yeah Again FTB!
Awesome!
Pretty toning, but all those bag marks on face should limit grade to 61 - 62.
FTB, your on a tear! Keep rollin!
Thanks for sharing the eye candy!
Great! I'm just looking at what is under the colorful toning. You post is not "spam" at all!
PS: This is why it's a MS-61 or 62. This is a red channel image from the OP's original. It shows some, but not all, of the surface damage hidden by toning. (Additional marks can be seen in green and blue images; also HSL.) The toning is very attractive, but grade and pretty colors are not the same thing.

It's a distinctive coin for a Morgan. I'm thinking a 63 at PCGS.
"Got a flaming heart, can't get my fill"
Sorry. Not interested in betting. Your highest resolution image was used. All of the black marks across Liberty's face and neck, the deep arc behind her head, and the diagonal white marks in her hair are damage from contact with other coins, not "toning." The wide, dark diagonal band is part of the toning.
I hope you are successful.
Lollypop Morgan. The reverse is very clean.
Nice looking Morgan! It is a 63 any day of the week and depending on luster it could 64 or 64+... Strike is all there and unusual for a good strike in an 84-O.....Keep in mind PCGS will grade both sides of the coin and the reverse looks relatively clean... When you send it in don`t forget to have it Trueviewed you will love them... Nice pick-up!

Any update from PCGS?
"Got a flaming heart, can't get my fill"
Great eye appeal!
These photos look nothing like the originals. Show this and people are thinking ms64-ms66
Not surprised the original guesses were 2+ grades lower
Excellent! Not sure why I didn't chime in here for the original discussion...
Collector, occasional seller
Hell Yeah @FadeToBlack ! Great coin for sure
You'll sell it to me....
