How about this 1881 CC Morgan?

[Bugmann1974]

I thought this was a nice example of a CC Morgan. It has very nice satiny luster and yes the fields are as clean as they look!

It does look nice. The Rev looks very good and overall should be MS64, 65 on a good day.

The luster on that coin looks amazing.

I'm with Bsshog, Think it depends on the depth of those marks. Light graze, MS65. Deeper with some metal gouges, MS64. Those fields are simply amazing. Strike is great as well. Eagle breast and Libery's hair is very crisp. I think I just talked her to a 65.

MS-65, or a just-miss GEM (in other words, 64+).

I'm leaning toward 65, but the marks near the mouth might hold her back.

A few brush marks on the cheek away from a 66 - MS65

I agree 100% with this assessment. If it looks that amazing in hand it's definitely a 65 MAYBE a 65+. I checked out my 1881 GSA which NGC called a 65 and with the exception of the cheek being a bit cleaner on mine, Buggman's 81-cc appears nicer than the one I own. I'd be proud to call that mine.

For comparison, I quickly took a photo of mine

MS65, very nice! Thanks for sharing.

[Bugmann1974]

Thanks for the opinions guys, this one may just have to make its way to NGC
