Another one of the "Friday" Morgans. Any opinions are appreciated.

Cleaned.

Looks 62, perhaps 63.

Try some pure acetone to get rid of the ugly yellow stuff on the obverse. With that color, it might actually disappear.

The booger came away after an acetone soak. Stay tuned for new photos in a few days...

Is a acetone soak considered cleaning.

Technically, it is cleaning, but, if done properly, it does not change the coin in a negative way. I guess it would be "market acceptable" cleaning. No physical scrubbing is done. Shouldn't cause a fundamental change in the condition of the coin - just removes organic contamination such as the orange booger that was on this coin.

To me, if this coins makes MS, it will easily make 63.
