muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7193 Posts	Posted 11/14/2011 10:38 pm I'm leaning to MS 62 with a chance at 63. Report this Post to the Staff
Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 11/14/2011 11:13 pm My gut instinct says 61. Obverse is pretty "baggy" compared to the reverse. Chance Report this Post to the Staff
carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 11/15/2011 1:24 pm 63! I've seen worse looking 64s. How'd we do? Report this Post to the Staff
jeffrose Pillar of the Community United States 1432 Posts	Posted 11/15/2011 2:25 pm Quote: 63! I've seen worse looking 64s. How'd we do? Still don't know. So far I've posted 6 of my 12 CC's. After I post the other 6 they are off to TPG. Still deciding on which TPG since the 89CC is obviously cleaned and from what I read in the forum PCGS won't slab it and I want them all in the same slabs. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 11/15/2011 3:43 pm PCGS will slab it in a "Genuine" holder, without a grade. NGC/ANACS would probably put a Net grade on their holders, but that would be the only difference. And someone who's in the market for an 1889-CC is going to know how to grade it, anyway; if future resale is any consideration whatsoever, PCGS is the way to go. As regards this one: If the darker "scratches" on the cheek are less-prominent in-hand (and I think that's the case), it's a lock for 63 and likely 64. 83-CC is common in 63/64, and a TPG won't hesitate to hand the grade out.

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 11/15/2011 4:12 pm I think this is a MS-62+. I was looking at PCGS website and they say that they will put the details grade on the holder but it is not the default option like some of the other grading companies so you will have to check that box on the submission form.

1893S Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 11/16/2011 12:09 am MS61/62 too much baggage on rim area and eye appeal isn't the best..... Report this Post to the Staff
aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 11/17/2011 12:16 am I think SD is correct, most times these blown up pictures are over the top in magnifying small mole hill defects into mountains...I wouldn't send it in to a TPG for this coin as the cost only subtracts from the money paid and grading costs,, better to have this one raw..MS63 .unless its a good VAM...

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5615 Posts	Posted 11/17/2011 12:43 am While the obverse has what appears to have many scratches, small gouges, bag marks, not to mention the obvious wear on Anna's face the wear around the ear, which is Not a weak strike, I see the wear basically on the cotton leaves, the stalks, the cap and also below the ear on the hair locks to well below the ear, While the reverse has apparently less visible wear, on the right wing tip, the eagles chest and the wreaths leaves over all, In MY opinion the coin is also marked up and spotty with those dark black spots, I feel this coin, on a good day would be graded between a MS 61 and 62,at best, just my opinion......

jeffrose Pillar of the Community United States 1432 Posts	Posted 11/17/2011 09:23 am Quote: better to have this one raw..MS63 .unless its a good VAM Believe it's a VAM-5A which is R-5. Having just recently discovered VAMs, realistically, what does this add to the value of the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
Piffin Valued Member United States 299 Posts	Posted 11/19/2011 7:02 pm MD, if you are seeing wear, it is AU, not MS I do not think that is wear and put it at MS 63 myself, but the hair over ear is weak strike looking for a CC. Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 11/19/2011 10:18 pm Textbook MS-63 nice coin good luster just a hair too baggy for a 64 Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 11/20/2011 12:51 am this looks like a MS-62 to me. ~~Not sure where SuperDave see's a 1889-CC Morgan nor do I see what he sees as being a problem, I am guessing he is in the wrong thread.~~ I see no reason to have a MS-62 1883-CC Morgan graded by PCGS over the other 2 mentioned because that is one of the Carson City Morgans with the highest survival rate and the prices reflect that. EditI now see SuperDave was answering a question instead of commenting on the coin in the first post Report this Post to the Staff
