  I'll guess 60 since I'm new and don't know better.

  Beginner that wants to learn.

  I will say 64.......a PQ 64 great frost but I believe the haze/chattermarks in the fields keeps it out of gem

  Nice looking coin......I have a question about DMPL Morgans. I see quite a few with really nice mirrors, but seem to have some milk spotting or haze on them. Will the haze dip off or will if ruin the coin?

  Nice mirrors, but maybe a little too baggy for me...

  I would guess a 64- looks attractive to me!

  I'll go 63dmpl, mirrors look great, 63 because of ticks on obverse, and gash in eagle's breast and haze in reverse. Nice coin, could easily be a 64dmpl.

  It is a decent 64 with deep mirrors and great frost.
  
  The reverse keeps it out of a 65 holder and maybe the spotting.
  
  The obverse has very minor field chatter and and just frost breaks on the cheek.
  
  the reverse has the breast hit (which isn't as bad as the photo shows) and some field marking just right of the arrows.

  That's a nice one. Pics on these are tough on the coin as the fields show every little mark.
  Here's a pic of a MS64 for comparasions....It's my icon btw. Looks alot different in hand. Love seeing the mirror these show!
  
  
  If you are going to continue to acquire dmpl's you are off to a good start I'd say.

  Nice one.
  
  Know what is tough for that date (and the 82-CC too)? Original prooflikes from the virgin dies. Extremely underrated and unappreciated. That's not what you have there, though what you have is nice. Yours, like the overwhelming majority, exhibits the post-clash repolishing at the neck/jaw junction and the back of the bonnet band. Finding ones without that is quite a task. And it is not because knowledgeable people are hoarding them, as I doubt most would be aware of the difference. They are legitimately rare on their own.
