Realistically it's an MS-64, doesn't have the dripping luster to attain the GEM Grade.

What's not to love with the VAM-6 LDS. I'll guess NGC said MS-64.

I agree with Dave on the great LDS VAM. Love the die sinking. Think NGC might drop to a MS63 though. Both of the high tier TPG's are being tough with their grading of late (IMO and a few others).. PG |

The shadow is covering the cheek, so it's difficult to grade. I can't really see all of the contact marks, and since that is the point of interest in grading Morgans...
Possibly MS-65

Its a little hard to tell with the dark area over the cheek but I'll guess they gave it a MS-63.

I think 64's a fair grade, and this one's a solid example of that number. Maybe even "high-end" for a 64. It's as important to evaluate the photography as precisely as the coin in cases like this, and I'm seeing the marks on the cheek being somewhat downplayed by the imagery. Not that they're all that prominent, but enough to make it a 64 rather than higher.
Like the overwhelming majority of Morgans, it's obverse-limited but you can't consider that for the grade. In all cases but that of severe strike disparity, the grade is the lowest face. Not an "average." It's that simple.
