ms63. I don't know if it's the pics, but the surfaces have a textured look that shows it might have been dipped.

The photography is weird on this one -- look at the bust truncation, there is no separation between the bottom (where the M for Morgan is) and the rest of the neck.

I would be in the 63 camp. Looks like some nice clashing on the obverse, the reverse is a bit too washed out to tell.

This coin came in today. Looking at it, it looks ms64 to me. When I was photographing it, the coin had a drop of clear glue-like substance near the eye. I didn't notice until I saw the 3rd picture below. It is now bathing in acetone, and the domed substance is dissolving as I type. Will post updated pictures after the bath.

This one cleaned up nicely after a few days in acetone. The glue glob is gone and seems like it was never there!
