I have grown to love Morgans however I feel blind when it comes to grading and VAMS. I am still trying to learn this complex side of coin collecting. What grade/vam would you call this one? Thanks

I'd say XF details, as it looks to have been polished. A closeup of the eagle's tailfeathers would be helpful for determining which variety it is.

Appears to be a VAM 18A. Green spots are indicators of PVC contamination. A good acetone soak would help there. Gradewise I would offer VF35 cleaned.
