All could be true ... solid for the MS63 grade (hence the CACabean), a little better than average (hence the + grade) and ugly as sin.

Definitely a pass from me, toning has the potential to either make or break the coin.

I have seen plenty of Morgans with this type of toning, and they are difficult to grade in hand, let alone from pictures.
Original, yes.
Graded correctly, yes.
Butt ugly, you betcha.
I have mixed emotions on pieces like this one. The toning is hideous, but the surfaces underneath are original and unmolested. Dipping this piece would remove not only the toning, but a thin layer of the coins surface, and it would lose it's originality.
Perhaps in the future we will have a way of helping this piece without ruining it, but for now at least it's still original.
