Morgans For Grading - Including 1881-CC

Nice job with the photography, and it looks like a nice collection! Definitely leave the CC Morgans in their GSA cases. The 1881-CC is one I might consider getting graded because of the high value, ease of sale, and the possibility that it might get a grade that would make the grading fees worthwhile. The other CC Morgans are nice, but might not get grades that would justify the grading fees. The other coins are nice and original, without signs of cleaning, but not high enough value to consider TPG grading.

Nice photos, the only one I see that would warrant the grading fees would be the 1881 cc. However I personally wouldnt submit it, not much of a price jump from ungraded to grades ms61-ms64. The value would start to jump around a ms65 & up. However I dont believe your coin has any chance at a ms65. Would not crack any of the gsa's out as mentioned above. If you have a shop nearby you could maybe use their membership & send along with one of their submissions if you want to save on the fees. I personally prefer PCGS to Ngc.

Also to the CCF

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

Thanks for the feedback thus far, and my apologies for including multiple coins, if that violated standard practice. I did wonder about that, but didn't see guidance and decided that it might be even MORE annoying to make 9 separate posts, when at least 5 of 9 didn't seem likely to warrant individual attention.

As anticipated, comments have zoomed in on the four CC Morgans, in particular the 1881-CC. So please allow me to use that single coin for a procedural question:

Even if I aimed low, NumisMedia data for the 1881-CC suggests a FMV of $510 at AU58 or $740 at MS60. Regardless of the precise amount, how does one go about selling coins worth several $hundred if I accept the advice and skip TPG? In the absence of grading, does it then just fall back on the buyer to assign their own grade (...and perceived value)? I'm sure this is a naive question, but I'm having trouble seeing how the process works, when grading seems to be the established expectation for coins in that price range.

Thanks for the patient replies... I'm learning lots!

Thank you. Just to confirm... am I correct in my understanding that auction houses don't deal with anything that is not graded?

Just to give you a better idea of what you're dealing with, the 1881-CC would likely grade MS-63 or MS-64. If you sell it without first getting it graded, be sure to take really good photos so that potential buyers feel comfortable with their assessment of the grade.
