I really, really like it from an aesthetic standpoint. Yeah, maybe the letter details could have a little higher contrast, but there are no hot spots and the black/white contrast between fields and devices is just about perfect. I've always found Morgan reverses to be easier than obverses, and this coin is a good example. The broad, flat area of the cheek on the obverse throws things off, I think - getting that right makes the rest more difficult.

The reverses always seem to be more frosted. Of course, on a nice white coin with little contrast, it's much easier.
