I have another Morgan I'd like to post up.

I checked out a couple of sites and would like to see if I'm in the ballpark of the correct grade. I think it's somewhere between F12 and VF20 -- anyone agree or disagree?

And value-wise, maybe $90ish?

edit: seems the first image came out a little blurry, I may have to retake that one.

1891 CC:

I agree with f12 however the obverse rim dings could details it if it's dings I'm seeing.

Now the good news, it appears to be a somewhat common but HIGHLY collected spitting eagle VAM 3 (not 7 unfortunately) which even in this condition may add a small premium to it over grade value. See how it looks like the eagle is "spitting" by way of a die chip just below and to the left of the eagles beak (I say may because the spitters are common in high grade but still desierable)

Heres an ngc vf25 that sold for $180 so I would think you have a shot at pulling around $125 if thats not damage on the obv rim. If it is I'd say more around the $100 mark

The VAM-3 Spitting Eagle is an example of a VAM whose value is 100% demand-related. NGC has 3000 slabbed and ANACS another 1500, and they're common below MS64. It's the most common 1891-CC variety. There's a Far Date version, VAM-7, which is somewhat less common but it's not possible to determine date location from these images.

Dave, on my phone I zoomed in on the date and would stake a monster on VAM 3

And I see a Far Date here, aside the fact that no denticles are visible.

Here is a revised obverse of the 1891 cc coin. Also including a separate 1881s for opinions!

Ok thank you for the input! Staring at my binder now, a little overwhelmed as I don't want to end up selling a rare VAM or something without noticing it =/ Will probably hold off on selling the rest of the ~20 or so morgans in my possession then.
