Yeah... my local coin shop over inflates their ungraded coins... just because it's shinny don't mean it's an MS... but I did get some PCGS Slabbed coins for a fair deal and after much haggle got him down to $25 on this on. Because it was so worn and obviously cleaned it seems very flat and I was wondering if it was a fake... I brought this up with him that it could be a fake as I know there are a lot of CC fakes out there... so, any how, at the end of the day I walked away with some nice PCGS graded coins at a little above market price (I chalk it up to brick and mortar expenses) and got this coin for what I hope will turn out to be worth it.

BTW... this is my first CC Morgan... so even though it isn't in the most ideal condition if it is real then I am pretty stoked about it.

It's real and well worth what you paid for it. Congrats on your first CC Morgan.  You do need to find a different LCS if the man thought he could pass this as MS although. |

At first sight, obvious cleaning. Lots of pits and marks. But still a great, great coin for 25 bucks. Great addition to any collections. Specially if you don't have one yet. Great job!

Carry it in your pocket with your regular change. That will not only improve its' appearance over time, it also makes for a pretty cool "show and tell" piece at the right time. Many, many collectors do this. |

@SsuperDdave... gotcha. I think I have heard of that before but just never by that name/wording. Thanks for the tip and answer.

I currently carry a 1922 Peace and 1894 O Morgan as pocket pieces. I just like the sound of silver in my pocket..  Edited by dave700x

Looks good to me. All the counterfeit 78-CC's I've seen the last few years have the wrong size CC mint mark. Your coin definitely has the right sized one.

I agree with the authenticity of this coin. I also agree it's been polished.  |
