[Grade Request] 1886 P Morgan Dollar

Would love a grade estimate on this 1886 P Morgan Dollar!

I love its luster but I'm a novice at grading. An MS 64 goes for $100 while an MS 65 is $200. I'm hoping it would grade for 65 or higher to make it worth sending in. But I defer to the wisdom of the crowds.

    I don't see it getting 65. Looks 63/64 but it's tough from these pictures.

    Lighting is a bit harsh but I’d have to say 63 CAC or NGC 64 . But @DelawareDoons has me by 45 spots on the Mycollect leaderboard so there has to be something to be said about that lol!

    But we’re both in agreement, it’s not a 5.

    The rev looks close to a 65, but the obv is a bit too busy so I'm also at 64.

    Agree with the others... 64 at best on obverse. Reverse has a shot but don't see obv hitting gem. Lighting is a bit tough...

    It may be the pics where luster and surface quality is not clear to me; based on what I see, average Unc..

    Is that a pair of die scratches on the Reverse between the n of (In) and the upper right wing or a die gouge? Don't recognize it as a VAM. Nice 64 and better photos might insure at least that grade.

    I would say that it would be maxed out at MS-63. There are a lot of marks on the cheek. The reverse is better, but that doesn't count in the grading scheme. The reverse on many coins is often better,

    If I owned that Morgan there is no way I would consider sending it in for grading. It's a nice choice Mint State piece better off left raw.
