What would you grade this Morgan?

I am still trying to learn a little more on the grading criteria that you all seem very familiar with. As far as telling uncirculated from circulated, are the hair above the ear on the obverse and breast of the eagle on the reverse the main telltale signs? And then on uncirculated, does it go by the number of bag marks and chatter in the fields, as well as eye appeal? Would this be a worthy coin to send in to the grading companies or would it not be cost effective? Thanks in advance for all of your help and knowledge!

Quite confusing, but I'd say AU-58

The obv is a 53 but the rev is a 45

I have been using PCGS Photograde lately as a useful guide:

The rev leaves' wear at 3 - 6 o'clock would knock it down to an overall XF-45 details grade.

IMHO
