Cheek is a bit dark, so I will be conservative and say 64.

MS64 for the same reason as posted by CartwheelCollector, photo is dark or under exposed, could see a MS65 too, as there doesn't seem to be any real marks I can tell from the photo.

The reverse looks like a solid 65. It's hard to tell what is going on with the cheek so I'll say a conservative MS64 as well.

Same problem here, so I'll stick with 64. Nice coin.

Either slightly worn dies or is AU58.
Obverse - hair detail (high spots) weak/worn.
Reverse -Breast feathers are weak/worn.
I am sticking with AU58.

I do not see any wear. The breast has the usual flat strike, as does the hair above the ear; the three major wear points on the obverse do not show wear, the wing tips do not show wear, and the feathers are crisp and well defined.
I also do not see much chatter and for a bag coin (textile toner) the number of nicks is relatively small.
This tells me that the coin was pressed against the bag, which shielded it from many of the injuries inflicted on bagged Morgans, although there are some nicks on the cheek and elsewhere, but minor.
PCGS MS64+ (NGC MS64*) for superior eye appeal with the rose blush on the bust and the textile toning. The reverse has outstanding appeal for the grade, too, with gorgeous semi-prooflike luster in the fields.
It might make a 65, but it would not be a superior coin at 65, so I think 64+/64* is appropriate.

CAC Certified, PCGS 65. Toning is quite nice in person (pics are hard to show it).  |
