with MS65.

That's a nice coin !

Reverse gives a possibility of a PL, but can't tell from this obverse pic (doesn't look like it).

I'll throw in a grade of .

It looks like this is one of the few Morgans that is reverse limited. The obverse is astounding with that purple tone. It's easily MS65 with a good shot at 66.
Very nice pick!

WOW!! Love the color!
65 all day long, I'd say 66 is very possible! Actually I might lean towards 66...
Beautiful!

It does appear to be at least a MS-65.

OP are these photos yours or the sellers? If the sellers, I would be concerned that the photos hide imperfections that would cause it to get a lower grade.

Nice pics but possibly misleading.

There is a light scratch right on the cheek in the focal area no one has mentioned and some spotting on the reverse. Has nice eye appeal so I'm in going with 64.

My first impression was "Wow!".

VERY nice photography!

I think given a couple scratches and small rim dings, this would grade at MS64.

Looks nice but hard to tell for sure from these photos what you have.

Nice coin but looks over-dipped. These types of coins usually net out around MS-64. Nice find would be MS-66 if the luster were all there.
