  Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

  I would narrow it down 58/60. Wear on hair and eagles chest brings it down from any chance at 63 IMHO.

  That is not wear. Typical weak strike for 1890-1892 New Orleans Mint.
  MS-64.

  63 for the weak strike & striations on cheek.

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

  64 what some see as wear is the typical weak strike on 90-O's.
  
  If the strike were better 65, although it may still get it.

  63, maybe 64. Very weak strike. Luster looks little flat from the picture. Is it?

  PCGS gave this THANG a 63 and the breast feathers on it are flatter than a new driveway; no doubt a consequence of weak strike and worn dies.
  
  
  
  OTOH this is a very very nice 64.

  Assuming that there are no problems(cleaned,altered surfaces,etc...which does NOT look to be the case in the pics) I would say 64. Nice job!

  MS64 if it has nice lustre. Otherwise MS63.

  When in doubt, don't.

  Thanks for all of the replies. There is plenty of luster on the coin. I just have trouble capturing luster in some of my images. The coin will be set free from its NGC MS63 coffin before making the cross-country journey.
  
  I'm fully expecting a 64, we'll see how it goes.

  I'll add, if it was wear, it would be obvious in the fields and devices as well.
  
  Larry the coin grades MS64. Not a chance at 65 with that strike, sorry.

  64/65's still have better feathers even though from New Orleans ( Previous Pictures of a 63 and 64 are evidence of this )
