Little bit of noise in front of Liberty and a neck ding.
Not sure if the temples are rub or a soft strike.
AU-58?

Tough call. I can see the argument for a 58, but a 64 would not entirely surprise

At first glance, I'd call that a softly struck MS64

I don't see any wear so MS something. Not sure what marks are on the holder and what is on the coin. This one is either MS-64 or 65.

Thats a pretty clean morgan. I'm at MS66, could be 65 if luster isn't there.

Not seeing much wrong, put me in at MS-66
Photo/coin is lacking the luster if it shows in hand then push it up to 67

edited: wow next time....I might read others responses first before posting my views........NOT....this is going to be a long wait.....

I don't see great luster or a great strike. MS64 from those images.

Luster is full cartwheel without breaks - impossible to capture (at least with my setup) in a slab.

I think it should make MS65. It's pretty clean.

Alrighty, I gather most will be surprised. I certainly was.
Grade-Guess---1889-Morgan

I see zero, zilch, nada evidence of a cleaning. I certainly welcome any info on indicators I might be missing. I almost feel like PCGS did not want another high grade example. I think it is a 66 all day long.

I see the luster break in the fields near the stars. It's hard to see when this is shot straight on versus at an angle. Regardless it's a very nice coin.
