Those first 2 set of pictures don't serve this coin well. There is too much flash. The eagles breast feathers and liberty's hair make it look like an au coin. And it's impossible to determine surface quality.

Even with the huge Morgan populations that exist it's not everyday that you find a strikethrough error on one of them. They are much more common on slds. It might even be polished.

Better pictures are needed.

I don't have high-end photography gear. Use my S8+ and a sureshot in macro mode for these. Cheers!

I believe it is a retained strike-through.

Based on the new pics, I'll say ms-63. Still not sure on the strikethrough though. From the many I've seen on Seated dollars they are always curved with most looking like a hook. I will defer to others.

Pics just don't offer enough to grade from.

Agree'd, 63. I get the best pics on a table by a window with natural outside light, no flash or light added. My S7 or camera gets about the same pic under those conditions but for closeups I use a celestron microscope.

Thanks for the opinions and suggestions, I'll try to take better pictures next time, I usually haven't used natural light at all.

definitely a piece of embedded wood that is a retained strikethrough.
