The 1902 is an ugly strike and ugly year. Very few PL's and they are hazy/cloudy normally. Yours seems nice, a little hard to grade from the photo but looks around a 63/64.
From what i can see- my bet would be a frosty 64 for this date- i love the earlier morgans a lot more than the later years, and still i can't seem to get rid of any of mine.
My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable !
As usual many members are guessing "63" and yet none of them could show you a pic of a "63" Morgan that looks as clean as yours (at least as seen in your small pics). Apparently the fortunate members here have 63s that look like 65s, and god knows what their 65s look like!
Keep in mind that we are looking at the image of the coin and not the coin itself- I don't have the ability to tilt the coin to look for hairlines or see how distracting any possible issues may be- I like the coin and said 63 minimum and possibly 64- If it were my coin, I would send it in anticipating the graders will appreciate that this is a terrific coin for the date and hope for the best

My pics are kinda bad and don't show the true image of the coin but it's all I have for now. The obverse is very nice in my opinion and thank you all for the replies.
You at least have a nice list of board members that you might want to buy some MS-63 Morgan dollars from! As clean as that cheek is, it would need some pretty serious hairlines to grade 63. Congratulations on your 65+ grade.
I'd say MS-64. The luster appears to be a bit hazy. "Blast white" seems to cover a lot of sins (marks) when it comes to slab grades. Quite or hazy coins end up losing a point or two. Given the low number of marks it could get a low end MS-65, but the odds are against it.

from! As clean as that cheek is, it would need some pretty serious hairlines to grade 63. Congratulations
on your 65+ grade.

Either that or the date would have to jump 10x in value from 63 to 64. This one doesn't.
