I count five toes and a full head. A lot of those scratches are probably die polishing lines. MS64FH

die scratches, agreed, but the gouge under "I" took it down a notch. I would say lower tier MS as a result.

I'd go 64FH. FH isn't very uncommon on 1917 T1 SLQ's
Extremely strong strike, you could probably spot liberty's ingrowing toenail if she had one

There might be some wear on the shield, but it's difficult to tell from the pictures.
I will say MS-60.

I will guess it graded AU-58. I think there might be a little bit of wear on the knee and breast.

Double Eagle Got it. AU-58, no FH designation. If there was ever a slider, this was it. Booming luster, and looks every bit MS; but if you look closely there appear to be slight luster breaks on the devices and some circ hairlines. I think it was properly dipped, because it is completely blast white. I really like it, as it adds contrast and variety to my album, as most of my slqs are toners.

Does NGC count a coin that has been dipped as a cleaned coin, or is that acceptable to them?

depends on how much it's been dipped. Obviously the dipping didn't peel off the luster in this case, so they consider it acceptable. The only reason I guess it has been dipped is by how white the coin is, not that there is anything wrong with the surfaces. It could be that it was stored very well over the last 100 years, but that is doubtful. Most of the blast white mint state graded Morgans you see I believe have been dipped too.
