I might resubmit this one based on feedback. Take a best guess on this one.

As always, thank you for your candid opinions.

I see a 65 due to the clean cheek, but the strike is weak. Note the hair above the eye isn't fully defined. This date/mm is common in high, even gem grades, with many fully struck examples, so I would not buy one that isn't fully struck hoping for an upgrade.

Solid 64+, good shot at 65.

The folks here are conservative in their grading, I like that, a wise man said "He that does not expect, is never disappointed"

H-m-m. OP must have at least a 65 in hand, maybe a 66.

Maaaaabe, maybe not, I was just wondering if anyone saw some proof like evidence, I had to use real low light, you can see yourself in the fields.

The shadow on the coin is my outline taking the picture.

To me the coin and cheek look all marked up. S coins are well struck and shiny with proof like qualities quite often..but I'm seeing ms62. Still nice.

Looks better there. Frog maybe I'm suffering from mild delusions since I have not owned or looked at a morgan in person in many months! :O I gotta retune my eyes. :)

Clever pics but I don't think they help much. I'll just wait for OP to show his hand.
