Opinions on 1887-P Toned Morgan

I was thinking about buying this raw 1887-P. The seller is asking $37, grades it at MS63, and describes it as "orange and blue". It's a scan, not a photo (and is in a cardboard flip). I like the contrast of the small untoned area on the obverse, but not too excited about the pattern between her eye and nose.

I don't have enought experience with toned coins. Do you think the colors might look better than the scan shows? Do you agree with the grade?

    I personally can't see it looking too impressive, especially with the reverse print, and the marks/toning breaks in front of the face... I'd pass on this piece.

    The color will look much better in hand. I think it's worth $37, thats only a few bucks over greysheet.
