An MS67 from SF should blast my head off with luster and eye appeal. I don't see a 66+PL, but still a very nice coin. MS65+PL, maximum, from me...if luster flashes and booms, then 66.
You graded the pic? I think the actual look might be a little more in the middle. The aqua mirrors and coppery touch from the contrast/saturation might be a bit strong in your redux although you make a point. I just did the same thing in Photoshop with a bit less dramatic results, but when reduced the overall look when "adjusted" still confines it to 66PL at the outside - for me I can easily see where it would get 66+ or maybe 67 from another but I am hesitant w/o seeing it in hand.

Edit: No 67 from host. A little bit too much going on the cheek/neck and even fields I think for 67, and it just does not have the "Gem" look and instant flashy appeal to me. I'll go with 66PL from me; 66+PL from host.
. guess i'll shoot in the middle of the current grades. i don't usually see a lot of pcgs PL with die polishing but i don't look at a huge number of them either but surely enough to comment. fwiw
I'm not changing my answer from earlier in this thread (66+), yet if the grazing is light and the camera caught it perfectly, that Morgan- blown up as it is, could be an MS68 (with NGC).
65... Maybe PL if the graders are in a good mood.. Concerned about the little hits on that frosty cheek and forehead holding it back from a 66.. Nice coin though!

A lot of responses so far...I'm flattered and I truly love this place! One last bump and then I will post results after I put my oldest daughter to bed followed by making a night cap
...my first coin from a dealer online outside of eBay. Paid $250, well over retail and although it will not go into my registry set, this is my first rattler and I'm happy. Plus, I promised a couple of months ago I would buy a coin from Ian @GC for something nice he did for another and I always keep my promises

The breast feathers trouble me a bit so it may be even lower.

<< <i>Hello Eric I would say your pic is a MS64PL and the coin could be a MS65-66 PL Dose yours look like this in hand?
back away from the photoshop. That is way over processed.
Concerned about the little hits on that frosty cheek and forehead holding it back from a 66..
Nice coin though!
