    MS63. Love the color. luster looks good too.
    As Cougar stated, the marks do hold it back.

    Hard to tell from photos if scrapes just removed toning or cut deep into coin. Guessing 64+

    Looks like a technical 63, so 64 :)

    I thought 62 because of the hits on the cheek including the reeding mark on Liberty’s neck, the color and luster are very nice though.

    MS61 and anything higher is a big color bump IMO.

    Personal grade, MS-62, but I will guess PCGS gave it a color bump at MS-63.

    65+ the + is the color bump.

    Edited to lower the grade by a point after reviewing the GC pics

    And the reveal....

    MS 64 CAC ....based on the slab photo and the hits that show up on it, I had it as a high end 62/lower end 63. The color bump explained the 64. I did not expect it to CAC given the potential color bump (market grade). However, the difference in value between a 62/63/64 is not significant, so the sticker or lack of it does not make a big difference (unless someone only collects toned Morgans with stickers).

    The coin ended at 1,575 (with the fee). I was interested in it regardless of grade or sticker but my value was closer to $1k, so I did not bid in the end.

    You along with some others did have the correct base grade of 64 (I won't count the plus against anyone :) ). Nice job to all of you! And same to the 62/63 guesses since I agree with those. :D

    If i saw the slab shot I would have guessed 62. The GC pic looks so much nicer.
