Grade this Coin (1878 CC Morgan)

VF-20

 

Being a Type 1, the reverse will look a little lower in grade than Type 2 Morgans.

VF20/25

It looks like a VF-25 to me. There is no distinct flat spot on the Eagle's upper right wing (the lines are weak but complete, wing to our left). The hair above the brow is not significantly flat, and the detail in the Oak/Cotton/Wheat is pretty clear (no fine detail but the main components are there). If eye appeal counted much on circulated coins, I'd give it a VF-30 for that nice antique patina.

Good point James. I forgot it was a type one.
