Purchased this a while ago, and forget about it.

What would you grade it?

Very nice coin CB. No distracting hits and what I see on the obverse I would call cabinet rub. MS66.

Tough call.
The break in surface toning on the nose and the cap leads me to agree with cabinet rub (also know as a slider).
That can take a nice MS coin down to AU-58.

I think that bit of flatness in Liberty's hair above her ear ought to technically limit it to MS65 - that said, it seems as if "market grading" is what's being done nowadays, and the eye appeal for this one is terrific, so a higher grade with a "+" or a star suffix wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Could be that the couple rim dings and the slight rub, may limit it to MS-65....WOW nice Morgan! In hand,eye appeal may take it up from there.

I'm at 66 or 66+ and maybe on a good day 67 cause I've seen a lot of 66's that look worse.
