1881-CC Morgan

[Dwaine]

Tell me what you think of this coin.

 

[bsshog40]

I would say a very nice PL possibly MS61-62.

[rrantique]

I am thinking ,Wow i wish i had that coin in my collection. She has sure got a lot of PL features.

[bsshog40]

I just need to add that if the pics are taking away any luster in the fields of this coin, that it wouldn't surprise me if this thing doesn't go DMPL.

[Dwaine]

I am not sure. I just purchased it, these are the seller's pictures not mine. It sure looks as if it will be DMPL.

 

Regardless, it will make a nice addition to my set.

That is an understatement. It will make a beautiful addition to your set.

[jesbroken]

MS62 PL, beautiful cameos.

[MunkyMan95]

I agree with the MS62 grade, but PL or DMPL is where I'm stuck. Very nice deep black mirrors, PL now - DMPL after a dip.

[Dwaine]

Well, I will not be dipping it as I have never dipped a coin and this is not a coin I am willing to start with. I may send it to NCS and then to NGC.

Looks like we are on the same wavelength with this one chad. I thought the same thing, just didn't say it. Depending on what it looked like in-hand, I would have to quick dip to get that DMPL.

[MunkyMan95]

NCS may be able to help. I would reccomend it if you don't want to dip it yourself. They could likely make the coin look like a proof

[SkyMan]

Attractive coin, with very nice cameo contrast. I'm not so sure a dip will make it a dmpl. After all, a dmpl has to do with the depth of the mirrors, not how they look per se. Still with that sort of cameo contrast it's worth a shot.

[bsshog40]

I agree Skyman. It looks to have DMPL mirrors to me due to the darkness of the fields going by the pic. The dip would merely make it stand out better by removing what looks to be some minor spotting.

[cpm9ball]

It looks like it may be DMPL to me. Nice pick-up!

WAG = MS64DMPL

[Dwaine]

I posted a question on the Ask NCS about this.

 

Thanks for all the great comments.

[TomB]

Looks damaged.

[Conder101]

I think I would want to check it closely for artificial frosting. The frost seems to spill out onto the field in some areas. Most noticeably around the nose, mouth and the junction of neck and jaw, and around the eagles neck on the reverse.

This is what I was seeing as some type of haze. This would be more the issue if this is a DMPL. No proof is exempt from that.

[ant]

very nice!

[construct]

Is that a huge scrape I'm seeing across the cheek? And another scratch starting at the tip of the nose and moving NW 2/3 of the way toward the "E"?

 

MS-60 PL.

[Dwaine]

 

Well, I got the coin and while there is some hazing it is not to the extent of the pictures. I have it packaged and ready to go to NCS but I am not 100% sure there is anything they can do.

 

It is definitly proof like with mirror fields, but I can see lines all in the fields, not sure if they are die polish lines or lines from a cleaning.

 

I will keep everyone updated. Regardless of the outcome it will make a nice addition to my Morgan Dansco album.

[Big Daddy]

Shiny. Very nice.

[DJCoinz]

That looks like a blue moon coins purchase...am I right?

 

PS What exactly would a dip to do a PL/DMPL morgan?

[Dwaine]

You are correct. Have you had experience with this in the past?

[DJCoinz]

No I haven't. I've bid on a couple of their CC dmpls before without winning (I may actually have bid on this one), and who could forget the distinct style of their descriptions.

[carson city]

Probably MS64DPL *

[Dwaine]

 

Tell me what you think of this coin.

 

 

Well, this finally got through the NCS and NGC process, MS 62 DPL :banana: :cloud9:

[rbrown4]

Dwaine,

 

Congratulations on the final grade result for this coin. It does look nice.
