The reverse is nice, but I wish I could have said the same about the obverse. MS62 here.

Think she is AU 58, too much on the fields of both sides, she would be a 62 if the reverse had nothing in the fields

Don't see any wear so it appears to be MS. Real baggy so I'd give this one an MS-61.

AU58 for me also, just too many gouges on the obverse.

This is definitely better than my 85 but less than my 85 O.

If you find that you don't like it anymore, PM me.

the pics are way too macro for me to decipher the surface luster, if any is present. She looks like she took a beating in the bag, really deep gouges there. Any chance of some easier cam shots from a smartphone or something to see it "in-hand"?

If uncirculated I'm in at MS61 or MS62 could be the lighting in the photos it has no contrast. from what I can tell no more than AU53/55 as is.

Sorry I don't think your reverse actually looks very good, strike is mid to strong range but there are way to many marks in the field on the reverse, most Morgan MS reverses are near flawless with a mark or two on the eagle, not in the fields, the fields show a mark where almost every opening there is in the field . The cheek is very marked and I think is probably worse in hand , and I believe the lighting is not showing the wear in the eagles breast or In the hair, they both look rounded. And it is missing a lot of the rims. This is just for learning, I am not trying to put you or this beautiful Morgan down But just the rim damage alone I think would drop it into AU

I appreciate any feedback, but what seems to be the rim damage is probably just my poor cropping skill .
