Sure looks like an ms64 to me...

An ms63 1883-S is for sale and if I had an extra 6K lying around I think I'd jump on this one as it's the nicest ms63 I've seen in a long time.
IMHO it's a very possible upgrade to an ms64.

Most PQ coins are actually net graded for a problem the beholder doesn't recognize - especially when judging from an image. The odds of someone leaving thousands of dollars on the table in a freshly graded NGC Morgan are near zero.
yes, I know the pictured coin most likely falls into the accepted MS63 definitions of the major grading services; makes little sense to me but I guess that's the way it is.

PCGS knows that the $$$ amount between 63 and 64 is MEGA bucks!! They are much more likely to give it a 63 again..knowing how much potential profit is in this upgrade. If they were easy on giving this 64 EVERYBODY would be doing this daily.

The coin in question has marks in the prime focal area on the obverse (the field area in front of Ms. Liberty's nose and eyes) and she's got some marks on her cheek and jaw bone as well. This no doubt held it to the MS63 grade. I'd call it a high end MS63 or "give it a sticker!"
