    PR62 sounds good to me.

    Regardless of the numbers - your coin has "presence." Nice find.

    From all that I have seen, each proof Morgan has a unique look. Toning, contact marks, die characteristics like polish, cameo, etc. I don't think any other "high" run proofs are so varied.

    Pf64 maybe 5, maybe 2, maybe details. This is one you can't grade accurately from even the best of photos.

    This coin is part of an 1891 proof set, described by the auctioneer as follows:

    1891 Morgan Silver Dollar. Proof-62 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. This toning is outstanding of blue and rose-gold, but the surfaces have a few old wipe lines that blend into the surfaces and scarcely show with the eye appealing shades of toning.

    Hairlines must be pretty severe for that coin to have graded 62. Regardless, it's an attractively toned, albeit hairlined, example.

    Pretty prominent "wipe lines".

    I was going to say PR61/62.
    Seems reasonable.
