Obverse is better pic, too much light reflection on the reverse me thunks. The coin... what a shame.
I would say atleast a 63 if it had not been destroyed.

This Morgan has a lot going on, roller wheel marks, finger prints and hairlines. AU details due to the hairlines on the left reverse.

Thank you all for the grades / comments. Can some of the unsightly hairlines be planchet striations?

Would MS be MS60, the lowest MS because of the cleaning? If it was AU, doesn't that mean it was circulated for a time?

AU Indicates Circulation correct. The reason we just use MS is because a cleaned or altered coin cannot be givin a numerical grade. By catagorizing it, it makes it easier to express. Think of MS Details as Uncirculated Details.
