Please grade. The chatter on the cheek isn't as bad as the images depicts.

MS-62, maybe 63 in my book.

Appears mint state to me, but the cheek looks terrible. If it looked this way in-hand I'd call it MS-60.

What's with the apparent raised pimples of metal on Liberty's jaw and the 2 of the date? There also seems to be some excess metal on some letters of E PLURIBUS UNUM, some obverse stars, and on many letters on the reverse. I don't recall ever seeing similar features on genuine Morgan dollars. Have you checked the weight of this coin? I suspect we might be looking at a counterfeit.

The lesser contrast of the chatter on the cheek tells me it's probably a lot lighter than it appears; deeper gouges would be reflective, at least opposite the reflection of the light. The one dot on the cheek and a couple on the reverse illustrate this point.

Decent strike for the issue, but not great. I suspect I'd be with nod2003 on this one - 62-63.
