  Those angle pic's seem to accentuate some of the chatter but I bet it's not bad at all, in hand.

  I'll have to go 62 on that one. The cheek area is holding it down a little. The reverse looks like a 64. Might have a shot at 63-

  If those contact marks around the jaw area are not too deep MS-63 (if they are deep MS-62) -- "Spitting Eagle" variety.

  62 a good bit of chatter and from that picture, luster looks washed out. There is a chance you can get it into a 63 holder, but it'll take about ten tries, given the price bump.

  Interesting answers I'll post the grade later tonight
  
  Edited to add: There is quite a bit of luster on this coin that didn't show up in the picture. It's still very "shiny"

  Solid 63. Strike not strong enough for 64.

  I don't know what NGC graded it, but I'd grade it a 62.

  Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

  Agree that strike isn't super sharp. Luster a little muted and not so frosty. 62+?

  MS-63, too many marks on the obverse for it to be any higher.

  All glory is fleeting.

  Based on the pics, I'd pay no more than 62 money for it, if I were going to buy it.

  Image quality is a little lacking. I'd guess NGC graded it MS63. I'd grade it MS62, consistent with the marks on Liberty and in the left obverse field.
