I'd put HOLY COW! on the holder. Just how reflective is that puppy? Extraordinary coin - so bright it darn near looks like a modern Proof reproduction - but I honestly can't render an accurate grade opinion from this small imagery.

Are you familiar with the standard for measuring reflectivity?

with SsuperDdave!! Holy cow is right!! Can't wait for more pics when you get it! But from what I can see 66, even 67 sounds about right!
Wow... Wow wow!!
I'm looking for a high grade DMPL myself... And I'd sure have a smile on my face with one like that! Beautiful coin!!

Looking at the area below and behind the eye, my gut tells me that you're going to see something 65-ish but I reiterate these aren't photos to grade from. I'm seeing hints that the photography might be masking fields more chattery than may seem.

I'll wait to you get this beauty in hand and post some better pics before I cast a grade on it. It sure looks sweet though.

Yeah, that's how all of my Morgans look. I wish. I would love to have one even close to that nice. She is a beautiful coin.

I'm thinkg the lighting has hidden some stuff, but the DPL looks right, I'll go MS64 DPL until you can put up better photos, this sure isn't a stretch to go 65 or even 66. Could be a monster, but why would a wholesaler unload a raw monster DPL coin for common MS money? HOpe you bag a winner and it's a 66DPL though.
