    I'm going to say 63.
    Looks like a decent coin.

    Big coin.
    They're tough on these.
    Could go anywhere from 58(I personally would not hope so) up to 63

    My guess is MS-64 from these photos.

    I’m going 64, though it’s hard to guess luster from the pics.

    Agree.
    Looks like a trace of rub or friction on the cheek, but reverse looks full ms. Guessing it gets a pass, but muted luster keeps it at 63.

    Based on the pictures alone, I would take a stab at MS61. If I see it in hand, maybe I would consider otherwise.

    By the way, it looks like a nice coin and a tough one at that. I have to be temporarily happy with my XF45 that's been in my collection for 15 years until I get a better one. I still need six dates to complete my set,

    I’m going to ignore the date of the coin and assess it as I would a common date. As such, I don’t know why it shouldn’t grade MS63 at a minimum.

    Yep, 63 all day barring any issues that can be seen in the photo.

    Nice coin. I’ll take a shot at MS64, but I’d really like to see it again under a different light source. There’s little to no contrast or luster in those pictures.

    I like the coin and the image. There appears to a whiteness captured in the image that makes this rare date Morgan all the more special. If the coin in hand looks as good as it does in the image, I am thinking 63+ with a 50% @ 64.

    My opinion is heavily influenced by the image. It is a terrific coin and obviously worthy of sending off to our Host.

    I think a solid 64, from the photo.

    Impossible to say from the photos.

    The level of chatter on the cheek could mean 64. But it also could mean 58.

    Either way, it's a very nice coin!

    That's definetly a coin worth cracking out. Its does not appear to be beat up using the images as an estimate.
    It does not appear to have strong luster but that should impede the coin at this grade level.
    Just looking at the pcgs price guide it has a $15k price jump from 62+ to 63.
    I can easily see that coin in a 63 holder with pcgs.
    Pretty lofty Morgan.

    Really nice quality! I’d PCGS it, then CAC.

    The coin looks better in the slab images. Nice coin and congrats on owning it...assuming you do.

    I would consider sending it to CAC as it is in an effort to get the gold. Both images lead me to think it is clearly worthy. In addition, there are the price spreads between grades. Even though I think it is likely under graded at 62+, there is minimal risk sending to CAC in the current holder. While TPG is tough on this date, this coin has an outstanding look based on the images. And if the coin looks that good in hand, I would argue that it compares very favorably to other examples graded at the 63 level. So by the direct submission to CAC, one retains the benefit of a +… even though it is at the 62 level.
