I'll guess MS-63. Although better images with the coin not in the 2x2 would help.

Here are a few more photos, I took the coin out of the 2X2, This is the best photos my Digital Microscope will take. I tried my phone, not good. I also too a couple photos of the reflective surface. I think I could get a PL if I sent it in to be graded. Please take another look and let me know what you all think. Thanks again.

PCGS designates Prooflike for coins that grade MS60 or better and show clear reflectivity, i.e. mirrored surfaces at a distance of two to four inches.

MS-63 not PL. Perhaps the obverse is semi PL but the reverse looks to have regular frost. They won't designate PL or DMPL based on a single side, it needs both sides to have contrast.

Solid MS-63 to MS-64 example. Might be PL. For a Morgan dollar to be considered Prooflike (PL), it must have a mirrored surface that reflects at a distance of 2 to 4 inches. You can check this for both sides with a ruler.

Attractive example. I think you will be disappointed if you send this one in. I see this as a MS-64, maybe gets a * from NGC. Not worth the cost unless you are sending other coins in.

From my experience: if you THINK it is PL, it ISN'T when graded. If you KNOW it is PL, it MAY be when graded.

Thanks everyone for your input, I truly appreciate it. If I send it in it would be with a bunch of other coins I want graded. Thanks again.
