Hello, CCF. Sellers pics and not mine. I was curious what the CCF thinks on this one. I will reveal the grade Friday.   |

I would say this coin would be an F-12...  |

I'll split those two assessments and go with F15.

I say it is in the Fine range and I like the circulation cameo.

Thanks for the feedback so far. I am debating on whether to make an offer or not. As for price, there is about a $600 spread between F12 and VF20. Hence, why I want feedback as I don't want to get this wrong, buying the coin, not the holder.

The upshot is you do not have much to lose as there will always be buyers of the holder, not the coin, assuming you leave it intact. |

I believe this easily makes VF20. It compares very favorably to the coin linked below, given this same grade by anacs, which also happens to be the highest auction price that I could find for a 1889-CC Morgan sold at auction in this grade - realizing $2,318. If I were OP I would buy it if offered for under this price. https://coins.ha.com/itm/morgan-dol...391-03262026IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
