I got this coin within the last couple year but have since decided that I want to do my Morgan set in PCGS slabs. So now I have quite a few raw coins that I have collected that I need/want slabbed. This 1878 CC is very reflective but is def a slider. Is it worth the $16 to have it graded or should I sell it and put the proceeds to a nicer coin? I'm thinking it is around an MS6. I would be hoping for a PL grade on it but I doubt it.

I'm no expert on Morgans, but I'm thinking it looks cleaned and my not grade.

I would call it as MS 62 due to the contact marks on the observe. It does not look proof like with these photos. Depending on the quality of your other coins will determine if you want to upgrade this one or slab it to join the others.

I don't believe it has been cleaned, looking at the pics,,I believe it's MS...Too bad the obverse isn't as nice as the reverse! But we see that all the time....MS62...Maybe 61 If they're in a bad mood that day....Very nice coin

It's just so unreal how much more clearly you can see the detail via a photo. Coin looks so muck better to your naked eye then it does via this picture. I'm gonna hold off and probably buy another down the road, thanks guys.

Lots of frost and likely a MS63. Could go MS64.

The coin looks like a MS-62 in the photos but I think the luster grazes and marks probably won't look as bad in hand. I will say the coin probably will be closer to a MS-63.

if that coin was in a GSA case I'd tell you to leave it and send it to NGC or ANACs. I love the GSA cc morgans

Boy, that's a real beauty. Great strike beautiful frost and luster. Doesn't look prooflike. MS63* easily. Just curious, what do you mean by "def a slider"?

If you need PCGS-slabbed pieces I'd definitely shop for one. There are tons of these graded in lower MS grades you should look for one with exceptional eye appeal. Prices on this date are pretty flat from MS-60 to 63 and the best value would be for a really choice MS-63 example priced as an "ordinary" 63. You might then be able to sell your raw coin for what you paid for the superior slabbed piece.
