Might be the light that is not right on the chest?

Typical NO weak strike. Breasted and above ear. I think this is MS64 however the uneven toning could knock it down a point for eye appeal

The breast feathers are pretty weak, it's not the light.

It's a shame that the weak strije limits the upside of a relatively unmarked coin such as this. Still might "market grade" at MS64.

The breast feathers are average to strong for an O mint, IMO. Could be 65.

Technically may have a touch of rub, but I still think it would go at least 63 and likely 64.

So far we've got a couple for AU58 and several more for MS63-64.

I just replaced the pics in the original post with updated versions with better white balance.

Stand by what I said before... Technical AU58 that would slide to 63-64.

Looks like a nice slidder, AU-58 but would be sold as a 62 or 63 on the retail market.

In few of the books that I have read on Morgan dollars this difference in grading has happened in TPG. Few coins that were graded MS-63 from ANACS when regarded by PCGS/NGC came back AU-58.
