Howdy forumites. Just welcomed this Morgan into my type set. Figured I'd use the opportunity for a good old fashioned guess-the-grade. Compliments and constructive criticisms are also welcome. So, what say you?
Will post the grade around this time tomorrow (Sunday). Cheers all.

66
65+/66
I think whatever is on that left wing will keep it at 65 - otherwise a really nice looking Morgan

Whoa, nice one! I guess 66+
66
66.
Hard to argue with 66!
66+ ....very clean from what I see in the trueview (minor contact marks on the cheek likely kept it out of a 67)
I’m in the 66 camp.
I'll go 66+, I want to say 66 even but after careful consideration I think there are enough positive attributes to warrant the +.
Grade= WOW what a beauty!
65+

Another vote for 66. Very nice and lustrous!
I'll guess 66 as well. Nice coin!

Overall quite clean. I vote 66. I think the chatter on the cheek is a bit too much and too centered for a 67, and I think the coin is too clean to be a 65 (but if it is a 65, boy is it a nice one).
66+. I almost said MS67 until I zoomed in on the cheek on my phone.
That’s what the left wing on a Morgan normally looks like.
I’m in the 66+ crowd.
I can understand the 66 guesses, but I will have to go with 65... and maybe a +.... Chatter on the cheek, mark in the hair over the ear.....Cheers, RickO
66
I'm going 66+ That's a clean, attractive Morgan.
Nice and clear from marks, I believe it deserves a 66+. Great pickup.

65+
66 or 66+
GRADE REVEALED BELOW
Well folks, here is the distribution of grading. It was fairly tight, with 100% being between 65 & 66+. Some posters guessed two grades, in which case I took the lower.
And here she is in the slab! The PCGS POP report lists 3,609 in 66 and 317 in 66+, so props to those that went with the statistically less likely plus grade.
Congrats to the following members for guessing correctly (in order of earliest guess)

See that stuff on the lower cheek, the kind of stuff True View doesn't show.
Beauty ! I have a 1886 in 65. They’re pretty coins in gem plus!
