Here is what I see as a typical MS64 CC Morgan,,,,,
I know,,,,,,, some are better and some are worse,,,,,
You’ll notice the little black spot in the upper right reverse picture that tells you it’s in a GSA plastic holder.
I’ll go with MS65+.

Why that post? Are you trying to get people to guess higher?

I would grade it as 64, but would not be surprised if it graded at 65 as GSA's seem too often get some leniency in the grading room.

Agree.
I am giving comparables,,,, Hers is a PCGS MS64
I think the coin deserves a much higher grade than it currently has and I am seeking other opinions.
@GRANDAM
From what I see, CACG does not grade these with the bumps PCGS usually does.

I do not understand what you are saying??? The bumps?
Do you mean + grades?
It looks like a 64 to me. Maybe a 64+ but I don't see it.
Nice coin. Looks like a keeper.

GSA Morgan’s tend to get more leniency than other Morgan’s, usually around a one point range.

My first thought was 65. But I could see it as a 64 as well.
Yes, I never agreed with that position on grading. A MS64 should be a MS64 regardless of Mint or Date.
On that note alot on 1881-S 1882-S, 1883-S & 1884-S coins would be graded 2 points higher if they were any other date.
A nice 63. Grading of course isn’t always consistent, but the marks on the 64s in this thread, while they might seem more numerous, are generally not as deep. They’re more surface grazes than hits. The hits on the OP coin are rough enough that I wouldn’t go 64.

MS64.5 (rounded to MS64).
You’ve been getting other opinions. And unless the coin is graded 63 or lower, the majority of respondents disagree with your opinion.

We will see,,,,
I'm curious when I look at this coin as an example I wonder how much the rub marks affect the grade. They don't look to be scrapes or dings of any kind but just abrasions.

I’m familiar with scrapes, dings, abrasions, marks and rub, but not “rub marks”.

@dcarr when rounding anything after the decimal point that is 5 or higher gets rounded up :P

YeahI'm with @mfeld, it's a PCGS 64 (or should be).
It looks like a 64 with a GSA bump up to 65.
Since almost everyone agree's with me that it is undergraded maybe I should send it to CAC and see if I can get a gold bean.
It appears to be like some said-CACG does not give these the "GSA/CC" bump. You probably would have received a 64 with a chance of 65 at NGC or PCGS (but it might take more than one attempt and the fees could add up to where it is not worth trying).

I have read that the CACG GSA straps are extremely difficult to remove and leave a heavy residue on the holder.

I just bought it last Sunday already graded. I do not even have it in hand yet. I was looking for a CC in a GSA holder and I found this coin and found it to be far superior to other coins in the same grade. I feel it should grade 1 to 1 1/2 points higher but it will stay in the holder with the CACG grading band.
Maybe NGC can just put it's strap over the CACG one.
PCGS can slab it inside the bigger slab and it would be double graded.
