Struck inside the collar, notice the reading, just a minor off center. If is just a worn old morgan.

It doesn't look worn in the least in hand. Still has that sawdust luster in the fields and is bright white. Pictures don't convey that as I was going for the error details. It appears to be a very shallow strike to me

We see hardly any detail in the breast of the eagle. It is definitely worn but just more around the edges.

Ya, maybe high AU but the stars & letters are so thin & flat I was thinking shallow strike. But mostly my question is should I send it through error service to get slabbed as one?  |

This is an abnormally deep strike for a Morgan. I thought that's why you were thinking broadstrike, the excessive depth of the rims. It's pretty strong as they go. The breast feathers are missing from honest wear.
Of course, by definition a broadstrike can't have reeding.

Thanks guys, it just looked strange and slightly offset to me as the denticles are very long at the top right obv & smaller by a few mm at the opposite near neck and stars that is also on reverse. Almost looks l I keep a morgan with a "buldge" at the rim above libertys head. If you think it's nothing so do i. Thanks

Keep in mind the sheer size and weight of a Morgan magnifies small things which wouldn't be visible on a Dime for instance. This strike was slightly deep and slightly off center, but you'd never see either of those feature s on a Quarter. They're too small for it to be this obvious.
It's a mindset, a filter you have to devlop regarding strike expectations relative to the physical size of the coin, because those differences are valid and noticeable.
