$67. #6 of 40 acquired recently. Recently I purchased 40 slabbed Morgan dollars (36 ANACS, 3 PCGS and 1 ICG) and will post one a day alongside one Peace dollar. I paid an average of $67 for the 40 coins. This time I will post the grade of the coin 2 days after and this time we can compare our grades with those of TPGs. Thoughts? Thanks!

Nice looking but not seeing reflective fields in the pictures - I'd go a 64+ for eye appeal.

There is obverse and reverse cabinet rub here, not enough to call it AU, but enough to be noticed. The contact marks on the cheek are consistent with MS-64. There are other small marks scattered in the devices, such as the eye, cap curl, hair over the ears, and lower curls. They aren't distracting, but they are there. The reverse is solid, and not far from MS-65. I can't gauge whether this is prooflike from the photos, but I wouldn't be surprised with that designation.
Balancing the cabinet rub, contact marks, and the reverse carbon spot, I see MS-64 here, possibly PL. Without either the cabinet rub or the carbon spot, I could see MS-64+ on this coin, again possibly with a PL designation.
Nice coin, and right in there with the the generally nice coins for this date.

From the new pictures it still doesn't look that bad.
