The problem that I have with this coin is that in the photos, I can't see almost any remaining mint luster. That makes me say that it is MS61. But if the luster was still remaining and I just can't see it, this coin could possibly be as high as MS65.

There's no luster. In almost ten years here I've only seen two or three coins which have genuinely been overdipped - people use that term far too easily around here - but this looks like one. I don't think it will grade.

Clean looking coin but no luster is apparent in the photos I think it would market grade in the AU-58 type range.

Some better pics. This is darn near what the coin looks like in hand in terms of luster & shine. The first pics of the post were taken outside in overcast weather and it really dosent look that flat. There is a slight frostyness to the coin which could be the dip thing SD is talking about? I haven't encountered dipped coins before to know what to look for   |

Mark free surfaces, sharp strike. Maybe an acetone soak will help? This one looks dirty to me.

I've read about acetone dipping. What is the procedure?

I like the second set of images better; looks more like a normal Morgan with a bit of patina hazing the surface. The only way to describe an overdipped coin - and an overdipped one is the only dipped coin you'll ever know was dipped - is kind of like a scanned image plus the barest hint of luster. Some of your first images have that look but the second set is reassuring.
It's unlikely there is anything on this coin that acetone will help. It won't hurt to use, but requires careful handling. We discuss it with great frequency, and a Forum Search will bury you under relevant results

AU58...this coin has circulated.

It doesn't look like a weak strike so that is pretty much compression in the hair over the ear which means at least reasonably circulated. You might get an MS grade but I'd lean more towards AU58.
Are you submitting it to a TPGer to get a result?

I might pcgs it on the next go around but I think I may give it an acetone dip fist. If I do, I'll post pics to see if u guys think it did any good.

The latest picture is a bit more promising. I'd say slider equal chance at AU-58 or MS-63. Acetone dip won't make any difference.
