I'll say UNC Details. I think the scratch across the cheek next to mouth is going to keep this one from grading straight, otherwise I'd say MS63. From 1879 to 1882, San Francisco minted Morgans are pretty easy to find in better condition. You can usually pick up a graded MS63 or MS64 for under $100, even less is you buy it raw.

MS-62 for me. Great luster but the scratch does hurt it. Reverse looks with some mild toning. Nice piece.

well, learning cost for beginner. I brought 8 pieces from different years. The one from 1879 s and 1880s has the best luster and reflection.

I agree with MS-62. For that grade, it's a nice looking coin. The important things are that you like it and it's found a good home.

I think there is a good chance that scratch would details the coin. UNC Details - Scratched

Scratch probably looks much worse in photos than in hand. If it's not highly distracting in hand I'd say MS-63. The coin has booming luster which is a plus.

63
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."

MS-63 first impression, could also be MS-62.
