If you cracked it out of an ANACS holder, why do you need opinions on grade?

TPG are not the end all when it comes to grade. we have proven that time and time again here.

i probably would have cracked it out also. I want the holes filled.

might have made XF45

undergraded imo. VF30 at worst. you do have to take into consideration that TPG's grade by value based on what they feel a coin may sell for. sometimes you will see a coin net graded down for eye appeal or even minor issues that would not warrant the higher grade. looking at the overall coin it may have been marked down a notch as it most likely would not be able to demand VF30 price

Does anyone else get artificial toning vibes from this one?

there is a toning progression for silver

Yellow (gold)
Brown (an advanced yellow)
Blue
Red
Green
Purple
Black

you can see this color progression on surfaces of this coin and therefore natural. most AT coins tend to be more blotchy with hard lines between the colors and/or the toning appears to be superficial like you could scrape it off the surface. the toning on this one has smooth transition between colors.

I agree with the other comments. with so many high MS ones available I think this one would not come back as 65

MS64+

AU details (PMD/Graffiti) based on what I'm seeing the marks on the reverse look intentional. someone did that on purpose.

Morgans For Grading - Including 1881-CC

CCF likes to see only one coin per thread. you will get way less responses when placing multiple coins in a thread. I dont do multiple coins in a thread but looking at the ones you posted the CC morgans would most likely be the only ones I would consider.

the 81CC looks MS63

something to help with considering having a coin graded.

two reasons to slab
1. its a rare coin that needs authenticated and preserved
2. you are planning on selling the coin and the cost of acquisition plus the grading fee's would warrant it without chewing up all your profit

PCGS charges a minimum of $69 for a subscription other subscription levels include grading vouchers though so you could reduce these costs. add to the subscription cost, per coin grading cost which are $23 plus shipping & ins both ways (1-4 coins is $27 if the total value is under $1000)

NGC - economy grading tier is $22, plus $10 handling fee, plus $28 for shipping (1-5 coins).

ANACS grading would be $16 but there's a 5 coin minimum. Shipping would be $29-35.

CAC - $99 subscription ($50 grading credit), economy grading $15, gold $28, $40 shipping/handling/ins

i don't slab coins for these reasons especially the cost involved. I don't know why this is so popular today. just making the grading companies wealthy

the neck area is a dead giveaway and this is how photographs what a actual coin appears like in hand and if ICG doesn't assign a grade you know there is something wrong.

even with the high amount of overhead glare the colors that are apparent especially on the reverse is indicative of some type of cleaning. the coin would grade straight. due to the lighting is difficult to determine wear on the coin. AU details (cleaned)

how did you come by this coin. love the doubling. I'm going against the grain and when I look at the obverse I'm seeing a coin that had some circulation. AU55

it's one of the most common morgans. this is not one I spend $$ to slab. with the eye appeal you would not get top dollar for it in whatever grade it is since there are so many nicer examples out there

I cant get the coin to MS65 due to the blotchy toning and eye appeal. I can see at MS64 if all the luster is there in hand

Matt, there is too much glare from the lighting to determine surfaces. cant see wear, surface marks or luster. coin could be AU58, MS63 or MS64. if you want a better assessment resend without overhead lighting
