From the image given, looks like a 65, maybe 66. BUT, this image is somewhat grainy and probably hiding minor scuffs and dings. Wouldn't pay more than 64 money for this one.
Picture makes it look like a near 67 but it seems to be a 65 or a 66. Hard to be sure. I have a poor feel for the luster and or the reflection/brilliance of the coin as the lighting is at an extreme low angle from the west to northwest and is distorting the real look of the coin. This can hide imperfections and luster breaks.
Looks almost TOO good, if there is such a thing I get the feeling either that the image has been manipulated to look better, or that the coin has been polished. Some of the details in the hair look alot like coins that I have seen that have been polished.
If neither of these are true, then it is one heck of a Morgan!!!
If the picture accurately represents the coin, it looks like a solid 67 to me.......if the picture is manipulated it could be just about anywhere from BB to MS-67.
The digital image has been taken at an other than 90 degree angle to the surface or something has caused too much reflection. As far as grade with such an inaccurate photo my best guess is MS64.
In an insane society, a sane person will appear to be insane.
There is too much "suspect" about the image to even venture a guess. The Motto/legend, stars, arrows and wreath should not be more "brilliant" than the fields (I assume it is why they are black in the image); they just don't strike or wear that way and it doesn't appear to have the rims of a proof. I am dying to hear the grade and why.
from the photo it looks better than 64 maybe as high as 67, strike looks sharp but not needle, need the coin in hand to determine the luster, and whether the luster breaks at highpoints are light friction from other coins (piece is free of heavy baggies) or wear/rub/polished or what. nice piece from photo, would offer 64 money to a stranger and all sales final, 65 to a dealer I've dealt with who has a return priv., 66 money if it were in an N or P slab, and probably couldn't decide to afford it if it were truly a 67
If nothing else is wrong with it there is a row of hits by the chin, on the cheek near the eye, a BIG hit on the eagle and the strike isn't the strongest in the world. MS64/65/
Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

Great strike, mark free, looks MS66 - 67ish...
BUT
It almost looks unnaturally smooth, almost as if the picture has been photochopped.

Since that's not the actual color of the coin it's hard to tell. 65-67 depending on the lighting.

If the coin pretty much really looks like that shot its a 67 or 66 if the luster is nearly flat.
Sure looks good from the pic.
I hate it when you see my post before I can edit the spelling.
