1879-S Morgan Dollar

Moniker: those lines a raised. They polishied the dies before stikeing the coins. They are called Die-polishing lines and are not to be confused with lines/scratches from rubbing

I'll say MS-63PL.

I'm in the 63PL box. my only concern is that the hit on the breast has displaced metal. there is a possibility the coin could details for that

one way to tell the difference Moniker is if the lines do not cross over devices

I believe there are just too many hits on the obverse to be any higher that MS61. PL must show clear reflection in the fields on both sides from 2-4 inches away. m25s DMPL must show clear reflection in the fields on both sides at least 6 inches away. m48s

True but pcgs also says

Cloudiness or striations may impede the reflectivity on eligible Prooflike coins

Cloudiness is that toning they refer to?

Yes I read it as it may impede reflectivity and that it is ok on a pl designated coin

What Are the Standards for a Prooflike Coin?
PCGS has a set standard for designating a given coin as Prooflike, or "PL." These grading standards are the following:

There must be a clear reflection in the fields on both sides of the coin as viewed from two to four inches away.
Cloudiness or striations may impede the reflectivity on eligible Prooflike coins.
