I got this Morgan with a bunch of others back from grading and still practicing imaging. I think I still need to adjust the lighting and focus. I have the camera and the coin in a fixed position
Let me know if I am improving

By the way its an MS62 why not 63? but that's just my thinking.
It has some nice toning and good amount of luster

    Possibly the lustre is a bit impaired from some previous dipping?

    Areas around the neck, nose, top/front of hairline and field in front of the profile on the obverse.

    Reverse above the legend looks scuffed.

    I'd say its 62/63. Not a very lustrous coin and accurately graded IMHO.

    Luster means a lot in grading MS Morgans I've observed.

    Hard to tell, photos need to be larger to form a solid opinion.
    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.
