Here are some strikingly different before & after color rebalanced photos of my 1890-CC PCGS MS-63 DMPL Morgan Dollar which I feel really better represent how pretty the coin actually is:

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
UltraDMPLDollars: Thanks for asking but no, she's not for sale -- she's been with me for about 25-30 years now, and we are getting used to each other

It's very difficult to evaluate the reflectivity of the coin from the photos provided, to determine whether or not the coin is likely to grade PL or DMPL, but based upon the photos I'm guessing that it would at least go PL to make it an MS-62 PL or perhaps a shot MS-63 PL.
The contact marks on Liberty's cheek and in the lower fields below around Liberty's portrait (below chin & below cap), as well as the dark spot on the reverse at the "N" of United, may keep the coin an MS-62.
If it were to upgrade to a PCGS MS-63 PL (or DMPL) you would have a significant commercial upside. Good luck with it whatever you decide to do, and please keep us informed of your decision and progress.

I've noticed that you can sometimes pick up some very high quality ANACS PL/DMPL CC Morgans at attarctive prices because many of the Morgan Dealers and some colelctors will not even look at them...
I see that as a potential purchasing opportunity for those of us who buy the coin and not the holder...
