Great post GR58! I really enjoyed the read. I have to agree with CTB, that is a really sweet looking '85-CC.
CTB, that VAM-6 is killer in PL!

Chasingtailbar. - very nice looking 84 CC .... I need one of those.
For me I know how hard it is to capture Morgans in pictures .... I bet that one
Is killer looking in hand.
As for the 85CC I had been looking for a nice one, when I saw it ... I knew that was the one I was looking for.

That '84 is a bit weird, it's likely a DMPL, but the surfaces are slightly hazed on the obverse from presumed mishandling at some point prior to it being entombed in a GSA holder.
Got any better pics of the '85? That's a killer tough date to find PQ PL coins in the GSA holders, and yours looks PL and at least MS64 from that one pic you posted.
If it's as nice as I think it is, please let me know if you ever decide to sell it.

As I mentioned, I do have trouble capturing how a coin really looks in hand. But here is the 85 CC   |

Wow! That spot between E and D on the reverse sucks, but otherwise, it looks like a solid 64PL, definitely no worse, with a shot at a +. Here's a 64PL that sold on ebay recently; http://www.ebay.com/itm/141275611598Edited by chasingtailbar

That spot between E and D on the reverse sucks, I agree ... not sure how much it hurts the grade. This might be one I send in to NGC. To me that is a crazy price on the link you posted. Funny that coin also have a hit between E and D, but not as bad. |

I'm pretty sure your coin is a solid 64, even with the issue on the reverse. I'd value it a touch less than that one, though, maybe closer to $2,250? It's a heck of a coin.
I'd definitely get it graded.
Did you notice the '84 I posted also has a hit between the E-D? Must be a magnetic spot.

Even though I've already seen that coin GR58, it's so wonderful.  Edited by Cruisinfusion

Even though I've already seen that coin GR58, it's so wonderful. Thanks ... Yes .. I know I posted this coin when I bought it .. but he asked .. so I posted again .. I thought this would be a good thread for the information. I have noticed a couple threads lately asking about how many dollars (Morgan's) might be out there. And how many GSA's .... It would be hard to tell how many have been cracked out of OGP holders. I have a couple books that talk about dollars. I wanted to find the chart that showed how many might have been melted between 1918 and 194X .. but not sure which book I saw it in. It had a breakdown for each year. If I remember right .. there were 850 million dollars minted between 1878 - 1935. Seems like I saw a quote where Leroy thinks there are over 350 million still around. |

That spot between E and D on the reverse sucks, I suspect the black spot you all are looking at (and matched on the opposite side by an identical spot), is the small glob(s) of plastic that holds the coin in the slab.  |

No, it's the white spot, clearly a hit or a planchet flaw.
