I'll go even further to say that the luster keeps it from a 68. The coin comes with a satiny luster which is less desirable than bold, brilliant, flashy cartwheel luster. The latter is very common on 1879-1881 San Francisco Morgan Dollars, and the services are accordingly very strict on luster for these issues. Had this been a New Orleans minted piece of the era, I may have guessed MS68.
I looked up the YouTube video. I was pleased with my guess, and thought the video images captured the luster and character of the coin quite nicely. Great acquisition.

I posted a video on YouTube, it's there if anyone wants a sneak peek at the grade.

that is one strategically placed light reflection right there … at least we all know it’s MS6-something
66
I'm just going to say... wow! That is a beautiful 82-S!
Super clean fields and gorgeous toning... 65+?

Did anyone seriously think it graded AU or lower?

67+ in my book. My initial thought was 66+, but I’m usually a point low on Morgans. Pretty coin.
I can understand the lower guesses as the picture shows toning that indeed looks like bag marks. It’s a difficult coin to photograph.
The video shows it much more accurately.
