62 ish. - Obverse is not attractive to me, distracting chatter and hits, reverse is more attractive to me for a 62 .

Not a fan of the surfaces, I'd say MS-62.

I see the coin as a slider 58 to 62. I am going to take the 58 as there are signs of circulation rub.

Looks like this Morgan has original surfaces and a good strike. Luster looks OK but not exceptional. The various small hits are fairly distracting and should limit the grade to MS-63.

MS63 is most likely what they said, it's a MS61/62 coin with some nice color (for now) that probably bumped it to MS63.
I think in time it will turn not so nice in color, I have a few that used to look similar and are now dark brown with no more color showing.

that pitting most likely is due to die defects |

What is going on surrounding the Eagles head, and to the left of Eagles wing?

If this is 1896 VAM-3, the marks on the neck and above the date could very well be die pitting. The VAM-3 obverse die was worked over pretty hard. The date position looks right, and I see the reverse die crack and obverse die gouge at LIBERTY. I can't quite make out the other markers (such as the doubled "89" in the date) from the pics.

The grade looks correct. I like the color.

My first thought was MS-64 but 63 is a fair grade for this coin. Nice and interesting toning.
