I'm going to buck the trend and say just a 65. My reasons are related to the strike. Philadelphia Mint strikes are notoriously strong and sharp. Note the hair directly above Liberty's ear and the eagle's breast feathers. They lack the detail seen on 65+ and 66 examples. The fields are exquisite on this example, though.

That is disappointing.
i was one of the "detractors" and I was saying 65+. The forum as a whole gave it a 66.

If all my coins were as nice as all my photographs, I'd be a rich man.

Wow, that's surprising. I wonder if they felt there was a bit of terminal toning above the head, enough to knock it down a couple points. But that's the best looking MS-64 I've seen...

Maybe cross it over to NGC...? I think they have a policy where you give them a minimum grade (let's say MS64), and if they don't think it reaches MS64 they will keep it in the PCGS holder. But I can almost guarantee you NGC would put that beauty in a 65, if not a 66 holder.

Yeah, I'm really struggling on the grade, I found they were quite hard on all the Morgans I submitted that order. Great idea Nacer, might try a cross for a couple. I wanted to post it to see if there was something I missed on the coin which has held it back at 64, but seems like I'm not alone.

I still see nothing to change my opinion. This is worthy of a gold bean or upgrade. I really think that this is the TPG business model, under-grade classic coins to better the chances of a re-submit.  |

I suspect the reason was strike weakness - a weakly struck coin, even if absolutely pristine, seldom grades above 64.

I really don't see this as a weakly struck coin. I'm wondering if it's a greased filled die looking at the reverse I G W T motto.

I would have said MS-66.
Maybe you will get a gold sticker from CAC if you send it in...
