89-CC Morgan

I believe at this point the OP is planning on getting it certified which will answer any and all questions.

My fingers and toes crossed for you, rob oz!

You might not want to read that thread...a few of those guys weren't exactly modest or polite.
To CCF's credit--people were welcoming and helpful here.

I left that site because I was targeted by at least one moderator and was fed up with their attitudes. There are a few decent individuals there, but on the whole this place is much better.

@Smokeriderdon

I looked at that forum before looking here....
I found the attitudes to be something I wouldn't put up with...

So I looked for another forum, found CCF, and haven't thought of it since

This forum was founded because of Bobby and Susan being treated similarly at Coin Talk. I make no judgment except to observe that I haven't posted there in probably six years, and only one of the two is growing at the consistent rate we're growing.

It's simple. At Coin Community, you live by the Golden Rule or you get shown the door.

I Believe it is real too. Leave it to me to go for a coin like this. LOL.




OKAY!




Is that die clash specific to one of the VAMs/dies?




What's china 9?




I'm glad I could help.




I know, right? It's frosty like the 3 slabbed CC's I have. It looks SO REAL.




Is a die crack something that doesn't usually appear of counterfeits? It doesn't seem mushy on my end. I can see it without the loupe.




Thanks for posting that up.




Thank you.




Indeed. I was curious to see if anyone else had any other info that may not have been stated here that could shed some light.




It was a waste of time for the most part. Just downright rude.




Credit and then some. I've been around on many forums... Cars, computers, graphic design.... CCF was my first coin forum... I can honestly say that this is the first forum where I was glad to have come to. The discussion was on track. Peoples replied in a matter that actually tried to shed some light. though the biggest thing, I really feel like people are truly genuine in what they say here at CCF. I;m not saying that just to say it, I was actually thinking it last night.




I could see that. We only got like 1 or 2 pages in before it all went haywire. Where on page 7 here at CCF and all 7 pages are informational and helpful... Not filled with nonsense.




Hopefully soon. I called PCGS earlier on my lunch break just to see what the prices were and get familiar with the whole process to sending it out. There is a PCGS dealer in my area and I'd like to talk with him to see what he thinks and or has to say about the coin. Though he's by appointment only I believe.


I've always been somewhat of a rebel but not necessarily a high risk taker. I tossed around the Idea of what if's in my head. What if it's real? What if it's fake. I just said, what the hey.... Just go for it and see what happens. So here I am. LOL.




Thanks and I will. Not gonna leave you guys hanging.

Lol Nathan, sending it in to be graded really was by far and away the most helpful reply in that thread

Here's a 1889cc with the "china 9" it's just a known fake variety.. And a bad one at that.. You can just see how the 9 looks way off compared to a real one.

And the die clash I've just seen in quite a few Morgan's, (looking at the reverse of the coin to the right of the middle of the eagles wing, connecting to the top of the wreath) its a portion of the back of liberty's head thats visible on the reverse, if you look at the shape and flip the coin you will see that it lines up perfect, looks like it was punched through. I honestly don't know enough about them to elaborate further, I just don't ever recall seeing a counterfeit with one, though I could very well be wrong... Here's a pic of one of my CC's with it where it's a bit more apparent so you can see what I'm talking about and compare to yours... Although like I said, it could be meaningless but it through me off....
