Hey guys, first post here ! Any help on grading this coin would be very much appreciated . My scanner isn't the greatest so it came out a bit too bright, but it's the best I could do.

EDIT: uploaded some new pics

AU-58 at worst but it seems like it might be around MS-63.

A little wear, I'm thinking - the talons show a lot of detail while the chest doesn't, and the hair above the ear is in high relief but appears worn. I'd expect the talons and hair to be "flatter" were it a strike artifact. AU55.
Rest in Peace

I agree, A well stuck lightly circulated Morgan. AU55.

I'm seeing a MS64 although admittedly with a distracting gash on the cheek I'm not too excited about. Really need pictures about that size and quality to be any more confident in a grade than that.
Rest in Peace

Nice shots; they're overwhelming my cellphone.

Opinion unchanged.

MS63-64...Very nice luster and strike! The nicks on the face are too distracting for me to pay 64 prices though...Nice coin!

I would grade the reverse ms65 and the obverse ms63. Overall ms64. Nice coin!

Hey,
Pictures are NOT CLEAR. But the coin looks uncirculated. Most likely MS62. Nice strike and decent luster for an 'o' minted coin. Too many deep marks on cheek to get a better grade in my opinion.

Just shy of MS due to some VERY light wear on cheek, hair, feathers. I will say AU-58.

Could certainly sneak its way into an MS-62 holder.
