I think she's pretty! Interesting VAM, too...lots of clashes and cracks, and those of you with an eye for VAM's might be able to figure this one out. Thoughts on a grade? PCGS holder.

Lovely toning. There doesn't appear to be much scuffing or wear, there is a bit on the reverse. I'll say its MS64+ with a chance at MS65.

Love the coin! Toning always makes it tough to grade in photos. I am going to guess it is a MS-65

This is indeed a very attractive Morgan dollar. I think I am a little short of gem. OP provided excellent pictures so we can look in enlarged detail. There seems to be a small but easily visible metal void in the highlighted area nearest the chin. The cheek is pretty clean but a few small scattered hits can be seen. The important high point in the hair above the ear is not as sharp as can be. Nevertheless I think it is still UNC and close to gem, but not quite there. MS64+ and an overall great looking coin.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

All the scratches in front of her face are giving me pause .
I think if it straight graded it can go no higher than MS-63

Because of the marks on the face / neck I will guess ms-64. Very clean fields though.
