I'm in the 53-55 range myself. This is a San Francisco Morgan, not a New Orleans one, and therefore the default opinion is to expect a good strike. So what I see on the reverse (I pretty much don't look at the obverses of Morgans any more to decode AU/Mint State) is indicative of a little wear as opposed to a flat strike. The bottom leaves are full, there's talon detail right up to where circulation flattened them, and the legs wouldn't be that flat from strike unless other things were equally flat.

The abundance of luster suggests AU-58.

58's a little generous to me, but not entirely out of the question. I might agree with the coin in-hand.

That's about as close to "Unc" as you can get....I give it an AU-58!

Luster isn't bad but I fear the "circulation" on this example may be from a cloth. Hence, I can't really go higher than AU details.
