O, Rly?

I'll await further opinion in favor of allowing the fruit to become exhausted, but be aware, these are not easy to find in PL....

$125 max. They're not common, but they're available. I'm calling it 62 for bidding purposes. $150 is OK if you call it 63, but I dunno.

OK, I thought I recognized this coin.

I agree with MS-62. With the big mark by the eye, I think that will hold it back from a 63.

Would PCGS or NGC give this a details grade with a scratch like that on Liberty's face?

I think I would characterize that as just a heavy bag mark rather than a scratch. Many Morgan dollars fresh out of a mint bag can look like they have been in a knife fight. The MS 60 to MS 62 grades cover those coins.
