Obviously, there's too little data from the small pics to say for sure whether it's MS or not. If the appearance of frost is accurate, we'll call it Mint State for the purposes of argument. From the detail pic of the cheek, there's no way I'd exceed MS62 for this coin, even though the fields look decent.

Is it in an MS67 third-world slab?

No its in an old mail plastic Armour company rebate for coupons my mom did in the 70s. I think it was about 25 coupons.

I have to agree that this is about a MS-62 coin looking at the cheek

Yep a 62, she is in need of a few stitches on her cheek.

I'll join the chorus and vote '62 as well. The mint frost on both sides really looks very nice; only the nicks and scuffs on the cheek and over the eagle's breast hold the coin back. The strike looks above average for a New Orleans coin.

I've never heard of an uncirculated Morgan dollar being sent as a rebate. I wonder if this coin in it's Armour envelope would sell for a significant premium? Maybe to the right collector it would be a rare and desirable item!
