Well, I am so new to this I am probably wrong. However, if I don't try.... I won't get better at it. I'm going to say MS63 is my guess, and I feel it is a conservative guess. I think the reverse is 64 and that the obverse could be as well, except that the luster wear around the flowers/ear area is noticeable. So I am going to stick with 63. But, don't take my word I am just a novice! Nice coin either way

Wow. Frosty, and potentially PL. It's tough to tell whether the gouge on the upper cheek is as bad as the images make it look; depending on its' depth, I'm leaning MS64. The fingerprint is there for good; you're not removing it without destroying the coin.

Agree with the grade assessment, and the fingerprint... doesn't look like it will come off easy, but looks like you might be able to dip the coin to eliminate most of it. Wouldn't take very long... but I wouldn't try that unless you've got past experience with dipping.

It may go PL if the dies still have polish lines. What does it look like in hand?

don't dip the coin, chances are you'll ruin it rather than help it as its far too easy to over dip it when you do not have the experience.

nice coin BTW
enjoy it

Absolutely beautiful coin; Morgan's aren't my favorite, but this is a great coin regardless. I'd say proof-like for sure.
