Looks like a nice VF20
Looks VG10-F12 IMO
Nice even wear, possibly an older cleaning?
Assuming it's authentic and problem free...I'm at F12
I agree with @morgandollar1878–
it looks vf20 to me
12-15.

F15. I'd be more concerned with the authenticity.

First impression - VF20... in hand, maybe a tad less....Cheers, RickO
I'll go 15, the cheek marks oxidation. Honest dirty looking oxidation with an unfortunate apparent second bout of circulation long ago.
Well, just Love coins, period.
F15, nice crusty look to it.
Ok thanks for your opinions. First its authentic, 93-s morgans are one of the easiest to verify. I was able to verify it from the photo before I even bought the coin. Quick story, another dealer, not a coin dealer (antique dealer) bought some antiques from a lady along with a small bag of silver dollars , he paid her 10 bucks a piece for them, later realizing he had a good one !
offered it to me at a redbook price, which I said no and counter offered at a fair wholesale price, and bought it. I have a customer who is interested in it for his morgan set, I bought it figuring a solid f-15, and can flip it to him for a few hundred bucks profit , but If it will holder at pcgs 20, id be leaving quite a few dollars on the table.
With the VF uptick would try a few times.
I think it's a solid F-15, but definitely has a shot at VF-20 (based on the images).

Talk about a liner between a 15 + a 20!
So if it is about a $5000 coin, how much does the lady, who was paid $10, for it, get?
F12-15

Im pretty sure the dealer that bought it wont give her anything if you want to know the truth. I don't know the lady, the dealer is not even from my town, his shop is 2 hours from here.
F15, and looks authentic.
Nice Fine-15 with possible claims to VF - depends on direct examination.
But -- with grade inflation it might be MS-63.
VF20, maybe 25. There's much more separation in the hair, cotton leaves, and cotton blossoms than there is for a F15. I'd take an acetone-soaked swab and remove some of the crud that's on the high points.

F15 Nice one!

From the image a F15. If I saw it in hand and it made the right impression, I would at least consider 20
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

VF25....great example!

It is a tweener but I would not be surprised with a 20 based on the pics
I like it at VF20, possible F15, but there's no way I'd sell a coin like that raw. You're leaving a ton of $ on the table if it happens to go higher. The downside risk is of submitting it is minimal. If it comes back F15, you're still good.
VF20, shot F15.

I tried to cheat by looking at graded pieces sold through Heritage. Found a F15 that looked nicer than this one and a VF20 that looked worse. So- I don't know.
F15 congrats! Still need one.

Nice coin. Too bad about the elderly woman getting robbed. That guy will get what he deserves in the end.
My first impression is VF20 as well.

Great coin for the customer's Morgan set. If asked to be conservative, I agree with F-15. The lady who originally sold it will never see more than the $10 she got for it.
Wish I could believe that, but...
VF20 , 100% legit. It isn’t crazy to think 15 but the original skin carries it
11.5$ Southern Dollars, The little “Big Easy” set
Agreed with Crypto about the OS.
Probably a 10 but a shot at 12 from PCGS or NGC. 15 to 20 from ANACS or other lower tier grading services. Rev is much better than the obv, especially the rims. Pictures aren't that detailed but it looks legit from what I can see.
VF20 and a shot at 25
That is a coin that should be sent to one of the top 2 TPGs. Anything else is just plain not good for the buyer, the seller, or the collecting community.
Originals best your right, they never seem to get whats coming.
Not this guy, as I said he is in Wilmington. But there is another guy in town, who has been slamming people for years, all he has done is gotten rich from hosing people.

Or maybe you’re too loose. 😉 Please show us a picture of one that’s graded 35 (or even 30) by a major TPG and is worn to the extent that this one is ?

Here is a CAC VF20. Looks about right.
