Here's another for ya'll to take a shot at (I purchased this coin for the price of a normal morgan, which made slabbing it worth it...)
The marks on the obverse aren't nearly as noticeable/in your face (haha see what I did there) in person. Also, it has a lamination on the reverse that is not damage.

Looks like an XF45 to me. Nice tougher date Morgan!

CACG 45. PCGS 50.
Enough luster shows for AU 50 IMO
Not to beat a dead horse, but opining how CAC graded the coin may not match my opinion. And on the previous two coins, the 1913 Buff and the 09 VDB, my opinion of CAC’s opinion has been too conservative. This coin is a real liner between 45 and 50. I see at as a 50 and I suspect CAC would see it as a 45… And there is a reasonable probability of keeping the string of overly conservative opinions intact.
I hope the grade met your expectations
Edited to add… I like the surfaces but the bagmarks in the obverse focal point might be too much .

45 because of the marks.

I was way off on XF45, it appears. Lol! I based my guess on the forehead hair and the lack of breast feathers.
It appears that BillJones and UncleJoe are the men!

Very nice, the large photo above over highlighted the hits on Liberty. Deserving of grade.
I see the luster more pronounced in the new pictures. Nice 53
Nice, original, low-mintage Morgan

Hard to view the luster in the original photo so I would have also guessed XF-45. Even with the new photo I still do not go above AU-50,
A Very nice 53, like it.
They're strict, if it is higher than AU50 I'd be surprised.
Hrrrm... I had the photo posted but it seems to have disappeared, but it got AU-53
