Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 07/31/2017 4:45 pm I got these from a huge collection I bought today, I basically bought everything in 2 suitcases. To my surprise these were there along with a bunch of dollars, halves, etc. I looked at them and the date positions match, mintmark postions ok, and weights are all ok. If the really nice 1889 cc is legit it should grade mid AU. That would be worth all of the whole collection combined. I am still in shock. Here are pics. Report this Post to the Staff

smalldawg59 Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 07/31/2017 8:01 pm VG-8's and XF48....not quite AU IMHO. Report this Post to the Staff
Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 07/31/2017 8:03 pm The last is AU 100% my camera didn't catch the luster. I am obviously interested in sending the 2nd 1889 CC out to be graded. The other 2 I will keep. Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 07/31/2017 8:15 pm Love the look of that last coin .. 1889 CC .. I am thinking it is a easy XF 45. .. with a good shot at low AU. Edit ... I was slow in typing and did not see the last post. I forgot to factor in that I am looking at a photo. I do agree on sending it in .. and has a good shot at AU Edited by GR58 07/31/2017 8:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
smauggie Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 07/31/2017 8:19 pm I agree the first two coins are VG8. I am going to go with AU 50 on the third coin. There are still hints of mint luster but it is mostly flat-looking. Of course the quality of the strike comes into play here. IF it is just a run-of-the-mill strike it might be a higher grade.

Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 07/31/2017 8:43 pm I'll take better pics of the last coin tomorrow. I had my partner and friend think au55/au58. The luster is quite nice on the coin. I did research on it and it seems to match one of the 6 pairs of dies. I just don't know what die pair, as the ANA pics won't load on their website. Stay tuned for more pics tomorrow. The other 89cc is probably VF/f details rim hits 1893 cc probably a Fine. May get net graded to VF due to inconsistent wear. If someone could help me identify the die pair the better 89cc was made from would greatly help. I was gonna bring it to my dealer tomorrow but he's in Colorado all week.

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 07/31/2017 9:04 pm VG08, F12 and EF45/AU50. The second '89-CC is a VAM5 and actually the first is as well. I would like to see the die scratch between the cotton and wheat leaves on that second example and yes, send that in to be graded. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5679 Posts	Posted 07/31/2017 9:23 pm I'd say VG-8, VG-10, and AU-50. Nice pick up! Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 07/31/2017 10:18 pm 1) It might make VG-10, but I am thinking Details because of the rim hits. 2) F-12. 3) AU-50. Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 08/01/2017 08:36 am 1) VG Details 2) F 12 3) 45/50 Report this Post to the Staff
Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 08/01/2017 08:38 am Well got an email from Michael S Fey one of the authors of the top 100 VAM book and a expert on Morgan dollars. He said it looked genuine on both pieces. I sent him additional pics to show the luster on the coin. I will post the pics I sent him now. Report this Post to the Staff

Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 08/01/2017 4:58 pm After confirmation from Michael s fey I'm gonna send it out tomorrow via express PCGS and hope it gets between au53-58; which I certainly think it has a very strong shot at doing so.
