I say 3.
Is the coin in hand yet, Stuart?

ER, I have not yet received the coin.
I'll post the coin grade mid-day tomorrow to give the morning crowd a shot at grading her...

It does look proof like to an extecnt....But looking at some of my Morgans that I have taken pictures of they do look proof like but are not designated as so by PCGS.
It is kinda hard to tell if the little marks on the coin are just I'll call froster rub or actual bag marks to me....High res photo's would help alot....But I still guess MS65
Hmmm.
With 57 votes registered, about 70% of you guessed MS-64 or higher, which based on the photo I agreed with, which is why I purchased the coin. Only 10% graded it at MS-63 or lower. Congrats to the 11 people (19%) who got it correct.
From the photos provided by the original seller, it appears closer to MS-64 PL, which for this date/mm has a significantly higher market value than MS-63 PL.
The cheek looks pretty clean to me, and I also like the cameo contrast between the mirrored fields and frosty devices. It looks pretty flashy from the photos.
I'll post a follow-up when I receive the coin after I've had a chance to examine her in person.
