Based only on the images provided, this coin looks like an absolute steal at $250. I agree with what SuperDave posted except the part about $250 being $50 too high for a GSA 1882-CC MS64. I believe $250 would be a market correct price if that coin is an MS64.
That said, this coin looks like a 65. I blew the images up 300% and the resolution was still decent; this piece could even be a 66. At 65 it's a $450 coin and at 66 they go $1,000 easy.
I would want to verify the integrity of the GSA slab and if it looks good - grab it quick!

Yes good chance this is a 65. I pay 250 all the time for the best ungraded ones I spot so I would say go for it!
Caveat: be sure to verify that the coin pictured is the one being sold. May just be their marketing materials.

Based on the new pictures I would say MS-64. Too much cheek and field chatter to make MS-65. Value is about $210 in an auction setting including fees.
($250 is still a fair retail price)

Thanks everyone for your opinions on the coin. I have asked the seller for some clearer pictures of the coin, here they are. What are your opinions based on these new pictures? Thanks   |

It looks 65 to me. The reverse looks 67! The obverse might be one of those "traditional" 64s (as fenton noted) but these receive 65 grades a lot these days.
Overall, the coin should go 65 based on the pictures.

Yeah I agree could go MS-65 depends on whether you get a friendly TPG. If you assume a 50/50 chance it's a good value @ $250 |

I may take a chance at 250.00 if it comes back MS-64 you may lose about 20-30 bucks (or you could break even, since it would be a Nice 64) but if it comes back 65 you will gain about a $100.00 or so Quote:Looking at the coin I have an opportunity to buy, and a few that were sold at Heritage that are graded MS-64. The coin I am looking to buy seems to be at least an MS-65. What do you think? http://coins.ha.com/common/view_ite...o=9463#Photohttp://coins.ha.com/common/view_ite...o=9464#Photo I have to say, that is the worst looking MS-64 I have seen in awhile so not a good one to judge grade by. If you are going by that coin being a 64 then the coin you are looking at is a MS-68 (which isn't going to happen). The coin you linked to is just a Dog 64 and I would never give 62 money for it. This is a good MS-64 to go by http://coins.ha.com/common/view_ite...=22467#Photo |

I have seen higher prices on these in the past, although higher price does not always equate to higher value depending on the grade. I would be inclined to jump on this one.

In my humble opinion, I would conservatively give it a 63-64. I agree with superdave re the cheek and field marks. I have seen NGC graded GSA holders in this range go for 180-235 depending on the coin and strike.

The reverse is sooo nice! What a shame about the obverse!

If I were you I'd buy it. No matter what it's a gorgeous coin and the price is fair.

Yea that coin is only going to go up in value. I don't think anyone would blame you for buying it.

$250.00 is a fair price for a GSA CC Morgan dollar. Even if your coin grades MS-64 it is still encased in the original GSA packaging (which tends to command an additional premium over the actual cost of the coin. |
