Very nice. I like all the CC's from G - MS. Even made a possible new avatar but decided to stick with what I have. Anybody interested feel free to use it.  |

If it'll amuse you to know this, the second coin is a Top 100 VAM-11 - look at the eagle's right (viewer's left) wing at the bottom where it meets the leg. See the z-shaped die gouges?
The third one is a VAM-2A - note the die chip on the nostril - and isn't really known above MS63.

I am in love with all 1878 Morgans, I am not sure exactly why but it may have to do with it being the first year the design was minted. I noticed when I was filling the Dansco7070 album I either tried to go with the first year the design was minted or the last. I guess its a subconsious decision on my part but I do love any 1878 Morgan

Thanks for the VAM info, yeah that VAM-2A I have a feeling it would be MS-63 or higher except for the small scratches on the face. Hard for me to resist this year when I see a deal. What do you think the GSA might grade as?  Edited by Cali_Nick

I'd grade the GSA at 62 as well. What did the top Morgan grade at, 65? Beautiful coins

Wow, I wasn't expecting that. It's too bad, that coin has great detail and very few contact marks.

Outstanding coins ... Many Thanks for sharing then with us.  I admit to being a newbie to the Morgan dollar series ... but do enjoy the fine photos and am learning post-by-post. A few observations/comments ... My 2010 Red Book shows 2.2 Million 1878-CC minted ... that is a huge number ... wondering how many were melted/lost over the years? Quote:

I see fine hairlines on the obverse portrait and fields ... look in particular below Ms. Liberty chin on the obverse ... might just be the photo. Great coins indeed. David |
