This is a really tough one to guess at based on the images. The TrueView images are great, but they are making me go in several different directions at once. My first thought was 67. But then I saw what looks like light rub on the highest parts of the hair, cotton bolls and leaves on the obverse, as well as on the eagle's talons on the reverse. That made me think AU-58 to 58+. Then the idea of a details grade came to mind after I noticed the staple scratches across Liberty's cheek from mouth to ear. At this point, I could be at AU Details possible UNC Details. If it did not get a details grade then, then I think the scratches held it to a 64 tops.

So my final answer is MS-64... That might be a bit tough, but those scratches would bother me. I hope they are not too bad in hand.

I'm unsure about this one myself. I'm just seeing either some thumbing or mushy strike. I'm just gonna say AU58 and see how bad I'm off.

My guess would be 64.

58 to 62 depending on mood in the room.

AU 58. I see wear.

MS62..... Wear and marks.... The enlarged (excellent quality) picture accentuates the issues...so I may be over critical.... Cheers, RickO

If it's not at least an ms66, then I just should stop trying to guess any grades, as to me, it looks like a very high grade MS coin.

I don't buy the 'wear' theory as the fields look pristine to me.

I suspect it really nice in hand. 65+

Common date. Uncommon beauty. MS 65. Hard to guess higher for me.

From the pics anywhere from 55 to 63.

No idea. My first thought was AU, but I'm not confident on this one and not getting a feel for the actual look of the luster.

So do we ever get to know the grade?

I'm going with my first impression based on eye appeal and about 30 seconds of delight at it's wonderful character. MS 66

Sure. I usually like to give 24 to 36 hours, so everyone can get a chance to make a guess. PCGS graded it MS-64, originally when it was sent in I was thinking 65 maybe a 66 but I believe @jtlee321 was correct in assuming that the light scratches on the cheek held it from a gem grade.

Awesome grade! It sure seemed to be a puzzler! Lol Congrats!

I think if those scratches had not been there, it might have gone 66 pretty easily. It's a very clean looking Morgan for sure and I really like the look of it.

It's pretty for sure.....who cares about the grade?

Nice coin.

With all due respect, are the mushy hair above the ear and the lack of breast feather definition my imagination? I get the clean cheek and clean fields argument but those areas matter too.

Pretty sure I got MS64
