This is one of my favorites because it's so noticeable. What do you think I should mark its grade down as? I found it very difficult to take a picture of the obverse because of the luster reflecting the light.

Nice, either AU58 or MS62 hard to tell if that's wear. Looks possibly polished but could be wrong

I'm guessing it's wear. It looks great but I think MS is too hopeful, but thanks!

please watch the glare from overhead lighting. it really obscures the surfaces.

the hits on the jaw probably will hold her to MS62. I noted what appears to be a swipe marks cross the profile. there is a good chance the coin was either cleaned or polished

if you want a better assessment repost the photos without any artificial lighting.

This coin was cleaned or polished. The surfaces are not natural. Maybe Unc details? The marks and surfaces do not match the wear.

Morgans are not really in my wheelhouse...but my first thought was the obverse is not in line with the reverse (in appearance)?
I think someone tried to gussy-up the obverse...thus the difference in appearance.
AU details
