Mr.Bill347 Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 How about this one ungraded. Is it real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsshog40 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Small crack in slab wouldn't bother me. 2nd coin looks like it's been cleaned to me. JT2 and Mr.Bill347 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Zyskowski Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Agree. Small crack is personal. For me I would pass unless a bargain. Now the second coin is showing signs of cleaning and not gentle. CC ‘s are tough because I don’t have one (except the 2021🤨) and keep finding stuff like you are. This or that, almost but not really. If I am going to buy one I’m going to wait a couple years. The prices are crazy or there’s a problem. Not to say that if the slabbed CC is priced right I’d jump, but carefully 😉 Mr.Bill347 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Coinbuf Posted December 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2021 The raw coin is a cleaned AU, very hard pass. The one in the PCGS holder looks off, there is the crack which is more of a personal thing than a concern by itself. However the label looks wrong as it should be a lite blue and in your photos it looks white, additionally there appears to be some gunk (for lack of a better word) around the edge of the holder and I'm concerned that this coin has not been properly stored and subjected to humidity, heat, water, or some combination of those. I also am not a fan of the black spots around the rim, those lower the eye appeal to most collectors. These are very common and easily found nice, I would run away from both of these, there is a reason why the slabbed one is a "bargain". Good coins are seldom cheap and cheap coins are seldom good, the old saying that you get what you pay for seems to apply to these coins.

RWB Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 The second coin appears to be real -- but also a "real dog." Cleaned, scrubbed and not really worth buying even at a big discount - it will be tough to resell later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN1 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 If it's that spot near the 4:00 position I could live with it...if it was a coin I wanted bad enough and difficult to get. However the 1882-CC, 1883-CC, and 1884-CC Morgans are the most common. I picked a 1882-CC up in the GSA holder with the box and COA for what I considered cheap. I'd keep looking. There are more out there. I see them at Flea Markets in the GSA holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
