I try to steer clear of details coins, particularly for average value Morgans like this one with good availability. I seemed to recall this appearance was indicative of having been over-dipped so I was throwing that out there. I don't think it's a VAM-7 as there doesn't appear to be an overdate mark below the second "8" in the date, or a small CC mark, like the attached from VamWorld.

Only for some of the 2023 Lincoln cents.

I saw this 1880-CC Morgan listed and it has a strange whitewashed like appearance that I have seen before and passed on, and will pass on again. Possibly over-dipped?

It has some very distinctive die doubling with notching, particularly at "God" and "We", but not so much just looking at the date. DoubleDie.com has better pictures of this variety ... http://doubleddie.com/384301.html

This is the die clash overlay from MadDieClashes.com for a 1969-2008 Lincoln Cent to check out the coin in-hand as clashes are difficult to fully show or see with just pictures.

It was an FS-901 variety with the 89 reverse hub that PCGS labeled as Wide AM on the slab, and the attached is one of maybe four described as "Wide AM" on the slab before they changed the description. Now it is referred to as a "Flared G" to avoid confusion, even on the cert for those coins that have "Wide AM" on the label ... https://www.pcgs.com/cert/84243496

How much info they could find doesn't seem like anything unusual or worrisome since they knew you full name and location from your profile. It's really amazing what kind of information is available on the web for people from simple searches if you know that. If you are worried use a nickname or handle besides your full name, and a more general location. And if anything was unusual it was how long it took them to get booted.

A split or cracked die would result in a raised area. That looks incuse. Likely just PMD.

Your right it's only for the 2023 cent, but since it's the latest YT craze you will see home brewed versions like that one with the wrong font and extra v in the wrong location popping up all over the place now.

What bullion series?

Funny, I am on the opposite end of the spectrum having weighed hundreds, in addition to taking measurements with calipers. Likely overkill even checking coins from reputable dealers, but it takes me no time at all now to check both. Virtually all the coins I buy are raw, so I take some extra steps to help avoid counterfeits which I really don't want in my collection. I read an article about counterfeits in Coin Week not that long ago which reinforced that, saying ... "A scale is a good way for collectors to screen out certain low-quality fakes". The incorrect weight was a dead giveaway for the counterfeit coin being discussed, as it was struck with a less expensive and lower density copper-zinc alloy blank. https://coinweek.com/ngc-counterfeit-detection-1884-cc-morgan-dollar/ I completely agree. I started out with one of those $20 cheap scales and I kept getting wacky reading, even after repeated calibrations. I threw it out and got a better one for about $40 after doing a little research. Accurate to 0.001g which is a little overkill, but I know the hundredths readings are going to be "on the money".

Great collections only auctions certified coins, and there weren't any recent uncertified ones on HA from a quick search I did. When you search ebay look at the uncertified 1884-CC GSA Morgans, which go for less than the TPG certified ones. From ebay the uncertified ones are going for around $300, which is what I went with.

A small decent quality scale with an accuracy of 0.01 grams is good for weighing individual coins, which I think every collector should have. Also check the max capacity to make sure it can handle rolls of junk silver, like about 250g for a roll of 20 silver halves. Also if you are considering weighing bags of junk silver you may need a second scale, as some of the bags are like 2 to 2-1/2 pounds. A scale with enough capacity for that likely isn't accurate enough for individual coins. The scales under $25 are the super cheap ones with questionable accuracy. Some of the better scales are around $40 to $45 which I would recommend. I bought a decent quality one made by Smart Scale on Amazon for around $40.

I agree with RWB that the heavy amount of marks on Liberty's face and neck, and the fields to the left of this as well as other areas, severely limits it's grade. From looking at ones on CoinFacts with similar marks it would likely grade MS60 or MS61 with a value around $300. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1884-cc-1/images/7152

The following link has the known 1909 1C DDOs which it doesn't appear to match. I agree it looks like die deterioration or machine doubling with no collector value. But it's in decent shape for a raw coin over 110 years old. https://doubleddie.com/287322.html

Someone needs to buy you a clue if you think my computer is the reason you cant see accurate information I referenced about these bullion coins, when I even gave you a screen snip of what I was referring to. It is amazing how people will sometimes cling to inaccurate, outdated or misleading information if it suits their purposes or bursts their bubble on the value for something they have.

I think the US mint really screwed up the design of the reverse for the $50 gold eagle coin in 2022, which is really a shame. I thought the gold eagle coins thru 2021 were done very well, and I have a few which are absolutely stunning in-hand. Now, you might as well just buy Krugerrands or Valcambi bars. It seems like a lot of things the mint has been doing since they went woke in 2022 are going downhill, including the gold eagle design and quality of the silver eagles. Does anyone know if there are any plans to re-design the $50 gold eagle coin, particularly the reverse?

I agree about the 1921 Morgans, as well as the 2021 Morgans. However I did purchase them only because I have a complete circulation set of Morgans (less a few I am still shopping around for with that 105 coin set). I actually think the 2021 Morgans look the worst with an almost "counterfeit looking" appearance, from the computer "enhanced" images, even though the mint has better machinery which you would expect would produce better coins. I hope the mint stops producing them. Abou the op's certified letter, to me it seems more of a mass produced novelty item to accompany a Morgan or Peace dollar sale, and the real value is in the NGC signed slab label for those coins.

There might be more consistency with grading if they could get it right. But how would AI evaluate cartwheeling?

You have to be careful with price guides like that as some are outdated, including the guide price for an 2020/2021 EP ASE as I previously noted. If you look at the "Last Updated" entry on that NGC Guide pricing it says it was last updated 3/22/2021 (see the attached). They are just not going for that any more, and if you look at my post with the snip of recent ebay sold listing they are going for around $50. The upside is you wont have to worry about paying capital gains to the IRS.

Just curious ... did the coins you purchased have the NGC Thomas J. Uram signature label? [Check that, I just noticed the coin labels in one of your pictures which has that] If you look at the back side you will likely not see a hand signature impression. Things like that are typically done with a signature stamp, or an electronic signature like on the slab labels. [Although I see it does say "Authentic Hand-Signed" so you may be right.]

Got ya. And if someone in AL orders over the internet, like from the US mint?

That is one of the things I look for when buying raw coins on ebay, or at least that it is one of the larger dealers who have listings there.

It looks like a mass produced/copied generic letter from a CCAC advisory board member, and the one you have is No. 95 (xxx-095) on that NGC submittal. But it's still interesting that NGC would certify that. For a coin collector like myself (which includes collecting Morgans), I don't think there is really any value as a stand-alone item, but may be something interesting to include with a set of coins like your purchase. @RWB may have some more insight as an expert on Peace dollars.
