This is at least EF-45, possibly AU-50 by some TPG standards. It seems to me that Morgan dollars tend to be overgraded at the upper end of the circulated grading scale. Take for example this 1902-S graded AU-53 in an old ANACS holder. I'd call it EF-40 or EF-45 based on the images, but ANACS saw it differently. Your coin looks to be at least as good as this one!

You noticed that too? Seems to be a lot of TPG Morgans in EF/AU slabs that look 5-10 points lower to me. I think the TPG often call lightly struck coins lower on wear than they appear.

This one looks like an honest EF.
