MS64 I think, those look more like scuff lines than actual digs or hits.

Knowing how a picture shows any hits/rubs much more negative than a coin looks in hand. I am going MS64 on this one. I think it looks very good, and even better in hand. Nice pick up for your first Morgan  |

Quote:Nice MS-63, super attractive coin. Looks like a VAM 8. Neat. I had it originally pegged as VAM-3A, and your post has led me to think that V3 and V8 share an obverse. I'm gonna throw that up on VAMworld if nobody else has yet. I think this one has a good shot at 64. |

I think some people call them luster breaks on the obverse side and doesn't detear from the grade but doesn't help the look. I'm going with 64

Hey, what's FMV for an unattributed, possibly undergraded VAM3A?

I don't see this VAM as carrying a premium, really. Keep in mind, there are too few true VAM specialists to support a market for all but the most desirable VAMs. |

So is $245 reasonable for this coin?

$245. is approx. fair market value for the 84-CC in MS63.
Very nice example for the grade.
That particular holder is a Gen. 3.5 PCGS transitional
green holder produced in 1989. These holders often carry
a small premium and are in higher demand than current holders.
These coins sometimes upgrade up a notch by today's standards.
Looks like a solid coin for the grade, I would hang on to it.

A huge quantity of real-world sales ( thousands of 1884-CC's in MS63 slabs) disagree with this. A perusal of PCGS Auction Results - over 3,000 1884-CC's in MS63 slabs - indicates ebay is the only place where an MS63 1884-CC which isn't toned or Prooflike is worth over $200. That's not the case at Heritage, Stacks, Great Collections or Teletrade before them. |
