MS-65 and she's a Beauty!!

Your photos are also of excellent quality! -- They do a great job of capturing the surface luster, texture and details.

Nice looking coin and it is a tough call- 64 plus seems to be the minimum with 65 being plausible.

MS 64.

I hope for your sake I'm wrong because an MS 65 is valued about 10X the MS 64. Hit on rim and the facial chatter are my reasoning.

If you do what you always did, you get what you always got.

64+/65. It has the look of a higher grade at first glance, but I think it has enough chatter to keep it from higher than a 5. From personal experience, PC has been super tight over the past year or so on morgans in higher grades and tougher dates, either they've tightened or my grading over the past few months has gotten more liberal lol

I am saying MS65 due to the hits on the face and chatter in the fields. Sweet looking Morgan overall with some serious cartwheel luster, nice pick

Nice coin and photos.
My first thought was 65.
64 on a bad day....
The hits on the posterior cheek are the only distraction.
Good luck!!!!

The reverse is that of a 6 for sure, but the disturbances on the cheek is gonna hold it back. I'll wager 4+, might go 5. It's a nice piece BHB.

Pretty bummed I was really hoping to hit that spread. I thought this coin would 64+ at minimum.

I might have to give it another go...

Awe man....... I just opened the thread now and slowly scrolled to see the grade
I could have bet money on a 65. Sure there might be an extra hit for a 65 but luster more than makes up for it..... IMO
