I wouldn't pay full retail because of the blurry photos. The blur could be hiding a secret scratch

Pics are not good enough to grade.
Too much glare and too blurry.

MS64 because they never look as good as the photos...

Thanks for the replies, fellow CCFers. This is not an ebay offering, @Greasy.

Since this Morgan is fairly dependent on grading ms65 to be worth the effort, I'm seeking second opinions. I'm borderline 64/65. Tough decision.

I lean toward 65, but agree the glare is obscuring a good deal of the surface.

I'd say MS-65 based on what's visible, but the hot spots in the photos definitely could be hiding marks.

I've purchased from these folks before. The photos can make the coin look PL, but they do not look that way in hand. So, I'm not counting on that. But, the surfaces are pretty much as pictured, at least with the ones I've gotten.

MS65, very close to PL, might be PL.

Thanks everyone for the grading opinions. The other bidders must have thought this was a really nice coin...

I let it slide when it went beyond my threshold.
