    Looks like an au58 "slider".

    Agree with 58 slider....may also have some PVC haze on it, and some hairlines from a wiping.
    But I'm not a Morgan expert. And it wouldn't shock me to see it in a 62 holder.

    Probably an AU. Unimpressive eye-appeal.

    AU with a dullish look that is consistent with light general wear.

    Au details- scratched. I don't like scratch on the reverse above one, and over wreath to wing. Even if die gauge between wreath and wing- scratch would be of concern for other. JMO.

    I don't think it has been adversely cleaned and it would likely grade problem-free AU-55 or maybe 58 at any major grading service.

    Not snark at all... I'm seeing some haze? On the back of her cap near UNUM... maybe it's just me and the cappy resolution on my phone...

    On the cap, above the cap, and below the cap (this area also looks like a finger print?), possibly above the ear....anyway, it reminds of the type of spots I've seen on coins that have been stored in PVC holders....not to the point of turning into green goo yet. May want to treat with acetone though, just in case. But then you may run the risk of hairlines becoming more visible.

    Exactly. I'd try the acetone treatment, but caveat emptor!! It could reveal other issues not apparent. Best of luck!

    If that was an O mint I would say unc, but from a Philly mint my guess is AU 58

    Wow... thus, the difference between having the coin "in hand" and trying to grade from pictures on one's phone...

    I respond as an exercise in grading. Not to pick apart your coin. It is nice and a great gift.
    If not a details grade, I would guess AU 50-53.
    I am not sharp with grading yet, but I see a lot of rub and “chatter” if the phrase is correctly applied.
    The stars, eye brow, cheek and hair under crown all seem to have wear, be It cabinet friction or lightly circulated. I also see a light rim dent on K8 obverse and K10 reverse.
    Unless the photo deceives me...
    There does appear to be some luster and light tone
