Does anybody have any comparison photos for MS65 and MS66 morgans?

I just bought this 81-S morgan that rests in an old ana 65 holder- it's a solid gem...... hardly any marks, great luster, nice strike, great eye appeal...... and I realized that I have no clue how to evaluate morgans over 65. So what does a morgan need to go from a 65 to a 66? Here's the sellers photos, which are about the same quality as my regular photos.....

This site is interesting comparing Morgans side by side:

Here's a 65 that just misses 66... the only holdered 66 I have is too colorful to make a true determination, but I think it would 66 even if white.

Airplanenut- that's a very sharp 80-S- I'm always impressed by the high quality of that san francisco issue- those mint workers were really on their game for a few years there....

I typically find that MS65 Morgans have an overall pleasing appearance with no marks that are too noticeable. MS66 Morgans are usually the same way, but the hits and scratches are about half as many as an MS65, or the hits aren't as deep or they are in better concealed areas that aren't too noticeable at first glance.

The MS65 in the photo looks like a typical MS65 that I see. The overall look is very attractive, but there are a few small hits it looks like on the face. There also looks like there is a small hit on the field towards the right.

New Orleans too. They did fine through 1885. Then it went into the toilet in the Big Easy.
