1883 CC - Care to Grade Her

[C.I.]

This has been the most difficult coin to photograph. She has massive cartwheel action which makes areas too bright while other areas dark. She certainly beams with luster. She has not been sent in for grading but asking for your learned thoughts. Can anyone guess tha Vam? Will let you know in a few days.

Thanx

Looks possibly like a Vam-8?? Looks also at least MS65.

[relicsncoins]

65 looks about right from here.

[mtnstyne]

MS65 for me too, not good with the VAM's yet.

[JOBESSI]

65!

I was going to suggest the VAM-8, too, but the obverse photo is too dark to tell if the dash is under the 2nd "8".

64+ not quite 65 but close

 

going by the photos as sight seen in hand might be different

This is the one I was looking at Chris.

1883-CC VAM-8 Doubled Date, CC Set Right

Of course when I zoom in, I can't see any doubling of the date or dash under the eight. It may just be a slanted CC.

[C.I.]

Knowing I did not provide any close-up, here are several clues to assist in vamming her.

 

Clashed N (neck), dash under second 8, Lip/nose clash, spiked wing. Others however can be seen in the photo. Good luck.

Well I guess I'll guess the Vam 3A

1883 CC is known for above average to bold strike. This coin shows weakness in the central areas, above the ear and the reverse breast. Nice clean fields obverse and reverse. Looks like this Morgan is in a GSA holder.

 

Don't see a dash under the second eight.

 

I'll go MS64 and VAM 3A.

Has someone got a Hubble I can borrow?

I agree, though I'm probably closer to MS-65 than michael is.

Nice one Chet MS 64+

I'm leaning towards MS65, but I could see it in a MS64+ holder.

[Tonto-migration]

Very Nice Coin, i would say it would grade at MS65

[C.I.]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I got her by trading 2 of my original GSA's (1883's) plus getting some cash to boot. Found I never really took much interest in those which were quite baggy or were not special vams (and those traded were beat bad).

 

She should grade 65 but know on a tough day, could be 64+. Just what everyone said. At 64, it's an "even" deal. At 65, it good! Either way, I have a coin I like and enjoy having. An ideal coin for us who purchase raw with only up-side potential.

 

As for the vam, she is a 4A.

Very pretty. The old girl is an easy MS-65 in these old eyes. (thumbs u

I think you made a nice trade, Chet.
