I'll say MS-63.
Errers and Varietys.

A lot to look at - Really nice strike, chewed up cheek and neck, is that a scratch going through the cap?, can't tell what the white marks are runnig through STATES on the reverse.
MS62 - or a MS Details scratched

What Marvel said. Not a fan of the scratch across the cap to the rim. Maybe ANACS gave it a pass, MS62

that scratch leans to believe it could have been from a staple. ignoring that as a possible details designation, the cheek and neck hits are pretty heavy
the reverse may save it from MS61
MS62

I'm going to assume that "scratch" is on the holder and say 62
Rev is very nice and obv fields look good, I'm thinking bag/coin slide marks right there in front of her nose.....I've seen worse 62s

I have said this before...I'm just not a Morgan guy! too busy for my liking...jmo
This one kinda tells me why!
ANAC's is usually pretty tough on grades.
Guess the "scratch" is on the holder?
But 63?
baffled!

Yikes. It's an MS-61/MS-62 bubble coin, and the question is whether the deeper dings on the neck would detail it. (If the line across the cap is a scratch, that almost automatically should detail it.) The reverse looks MS-63/63+ though. I view TPG MS grades as a bracket, +/- one step. In a MS-63 slab, ANACS basically would say this coin is within the MS-62-63-64 range. There is no planet on which this could make MS-64. Calling it MS-62 would make the range MS-61-62-63, which is plausible. Calling it MS-61 would allow for MS-60-61-62, which is also plausible, though this coin looks better than MS-60. |

Agreed. Personally I think it's a low 62. I do think the scratch could have/should have eliminated from straight grade. It is
a very interesting horizontal scratch if that's what it is, you can't see it but it goes literally to the edge of the denticle but not not past it which I find strange and it is the exact same depth/width all the way. It might be from a staple as panzaldi mentioned. Either way good example of a puzzling grade.
