1878 CC Morgan Guess the Grade

[mtnstyne]

In a PCGS holder...if you read one of my posts earlier this week you already know what it is but let me know what you think. My photos for some reason always seem to accentuate the surface marks and they always look better in hand. [/img]

I'll say MS64 only because of the hit in the center of Liberty's face. If it had been anywhere else other than a prime focal point, it would probably be an MS65.

Ill say 65 because you say it looks better in hand. My gut says 64.

I'm also agreeing with 64. The blownup pics show the blemishes on libertys face but I'm sure doesn't look as bad in hand. I still think the nics have it at 64 tho'.

With the rim dings, scratch by the E. and blemishes on the face, I would say MS 64 tops.

Those cheeks are rather baggy---but hair and ear are full---63

63, really nice aside from marks on face

Here is another picture, the one that I used to buy the coin from. It actually shows the luster better and reflects more the "in hand" look.

MS65 reverse, MS63 obverse.

 

I would say that PCGS called it MS64.

64+ Nice pickup. only because the grade is revealed.

You forgot to black out the code!

 

64+

I'd grade it MS-63 because there are too many marks on the cheek to go any high, but there was a time when CC dollars sometimes got an extra point from the grading services because they were CC dollars.

It's a MS-64+:

 

 

The red circle is over the grade in the serial number.

 

PCGS labels are all that way.

My guess is MS-64 at least.

 

Edited to add: OOPS! Just saw the posted grade, and I agree with it 100%. It's a nice coin, close to GEM.

Just returned from an auction that didn't happen (another story)... and realized I didn't black out the code...

 

Yep 64+. Pretty happy with it and I will post another I picked up today at a pawn shop later.
