She is PL. I am thinking about grading her. I was told MS63- MS64 I would like MS65 but It' a big jump from 64, A STAR grade would be sweet!. Feel free to help me grade her.

Here is my guess from the picture and what I think it looks like in hand.
That obverse rocks!
MS65obv
MS63.5rev
somewhere between DMPL and PL only on obv.
PL on rev.
I think in the end you'll get a solid MS64 Proof Like out of it.

LATE EDIT:

Good night it's time to look at my eyelids.

I think a star grade would indicate the coin has superior eye appeal (looks really really good).

A star(*) is a superior eye appeal designation used exclusively by NGC. Star coins are worth more points in NGC's registry and tend to sell for more money than a similarly graded coin without the designation.

BTW, very nice Morgan

What is the opinion on this recieving a Star grade. My cost was @ $60. So is it worth sending her to NGC. Thanks for the compliments. She is starting to blush

Hi

Nice coin by the way.
What's with this star stuff. Have all the grading co's changed
their criteria again ? Eye appeal is already one of the factors used
in determining the overall grade of any coin. At least it used to be.
I keep seeing and hearing all kinds of weird things about the way coins are graded lately. I.E.: Obv. is a 63, rev. is a 64 so ?
If any coin has say, an MS 69 obv. and it happens to have a MS 63 rev.
then the coin is graded MS63 period. Are they now splitting grades
based on ea. side of the coin ? I may have to post this as well as more at one of the grading forums.
