Ill start..I think it will grade a 65. It would hit 66 except for discoloring across from mouth and a small black dot under one of the "8"s. No major marks, few hair lines on cheek, a little rubbing in common areas. lowest 64+. Back is clean one or to small scratches no dings. How'd I do?

I was also thinking an MS-65.

Yes, there's a little room for improvement in the photography, but your images are more than clear enough to form some impressions. I see a seriously lustrous, Mint State Morgan, and 65 is quite likely. Perhaps even better; these images don't quite depict the marks on the coin quite accurately-enough. That double vertical scratch on the cheek, and the area above the eye, may or may not be serious-enough to contemplate MS66 for this one.
Switch the lighting from below to above the coin; the usual "standard" is two lights at 10:00 and 2:00 or the one light at 10:00. This will help.

5 is probably right. They want semi-prooflike surfaces for a 6 when it comes to this date, this seems fully lustrous.

I agree on a 65, could be a 66 possibly.

Appears to be MS65ish. I would also suggest you crop your photos closer to the coin.
