From what I can tell it looks MS63 and may be better than that. A value guesstimate would be around $200.

Had one like this graded MS-63 PCGS.
This might have less contact marks in the cheek area but the fields is what holding me back but maybe on a good day MS-64
Actually very pleasing to these old set of eyes...Nice Coin!

Enough marks on the cheek to keep it to a 64.

Too many hits on the cheek (hard to see them all from these pics) to keep it any higher than MS63

Agree that cheek is just too baggy for a 64. I own a lot of Morgans in slabs and overwhelmingly it's the cheek that makes the difference between 63/64/65/66. Even if a coin has absolute screaming luster if the cheek is super baggy it's not betting past 63.

this is an average bold strike for a 84(CC). the fields are fairly clean with some small tick marks on both sides. its difficult to see the actual remaining luster on the profile and fields due to the lighting and coin position. this is better noted in hand. the cheek has quite a few contact marks which is going to hold down the grade. there are a few rim hits in the reverse also. my grade based on these photos is MS63+

First,

Really decent coin. I like the luster and the strike.

I adjusted the obverse photo by increasing light, removing color, and sharpening the image. With those adjustments, there is a N-S contact mark in the field west of the nose, lips, and chin, a heavy scuff in the hair from "TY" of LIBERTY to the ear, smaller abrasions above the ribbon and on the tip of the cap, and a minor scratch in the field between the ribbon and "M" of UNUM. The multiple contact marks on the cheek and jaw are fairly prominent. The obverse is a solid MS-63.

The same adjustments to the reverse picture show more contact marks and several fairly serious rim issues. A heavy rim hit at 11:00, fairly significant hit at 5:00, and a series of scrapes from 3:00 to 4:00 are the most significant rim damage. A curving intermittent contact scrape runs from above the eagle's right wing (our visual left) to the leaves on the olive branch. Together, these cap the reverse at MS-62.

Balancing strike (solid), luster (positive), and contact marks (frequent, but not severe), I see the blended grade as a net MS-63.

Just don't see how this coin can be graded with a dead left obverse field in this pic.

The frog is right about the pictures not giving enough detail. From what I can see, MS-63. A dealer might offer you about $180, and charge someone about $225 for it.

@Coinfrog, the adjusted photo revealed details that were hidden in the original photo. It takes a little while on paint.net to clean up a photo, but sometimes it is worthwhile. I'm comfortable with what I saw in the two adjusted photos. It's pretty much a generic 63.
