paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 10/28/2016 01:15 am Thanks Numisma! I thought it looked exceptional for the grade and I needed one for a type set so I snapped it up last year for a very good price, since you don't see CAC gold all that often.

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 10/28/2016 08:43 am @numisma & goldrush, I used to have an 1881-CC in similar condition. Because of the tidal wave of GSA coins, pricing of cc's that have seen heavy circulation is not too much lower than mint condition. The conditional rarity of cc morgans skews heavily to the G-VF survivors. For me that's the whole thing. Being able to touch the same coin a miner or saloonkeeper handled in the 1880's...and not worry about fingerprints... Collecting coins pre GSA, 1881 cc's were esteemed rarities. PCGS shows less than 450 in XF40 and lower. Today there are 10x that number just in MS65. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 10/28/2016 09:04 am Lots of nice CC's but no S's yet. A semi_key with decent price jumps in MS Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 10/28/2016 11:22 am The run of San Fran Morgans from 1885-S to 1889-S in MS63 and better are underappreciated condition scarcities and surprisingly difficult to locate with clean fields and cheek.

NoPoMoCo Valued Member United States 403 Posts	Posted 10/29/2016 12:38 am Thanks GR58! Circulated trouble-free 85-CCs are hard to find so I got the toned GSA leaving a hole in my album. I like your solution of using placeholder Ikes with notes in your albums! Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 10/29/2016 07:40 am This thread is really helping me evaluate some of the coins in my collection. Some of them are not as bad as they look in in hand versus my pictures. This is one of those. 1886 S Morgan Report this Post to the Staff
