DNA Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 09/14/2012 9:55 pm This is the seller's idea of a "net" AG-3 coin. The obverse is at least G-4, no doubt about it. The reverse: Bingo! More wear than the rest of my AG-3 CC Morgans, but still above the typical FR-2. After I posted my 1879-CC Morgan a while back, some said it could go G-4. And I conceded it might be possible. But I think this 1880-CC is net AG-3, no matter its G-4 obverse. Do you? Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 09/14/2012 10:24 pm Should make G04. Obverse looks G06 while the reverse looks AG3 to me. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 09/14/2012 10:42 pm I think it can make a G-4. The reverse looks a bit weaker than a G but I think the obverse is nice enough to bring it up. Report this Post to the Staff

Gothic Florin Pillar of the Community United States 2541 Posts	Posted 09/14/2012 11:19 pm Obverse definitely a G4, reverse AG3. As to the net grade, flip a coin. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 09/14/2012 11:21 pm I would sell this coin as a G4. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
DNA Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 09/15/2012 1:02 pm Thanks, everyone! This one doesn't really match my other AG-3 Carson City Morgans (lower grade reverse than my other AG-3's, and the obverse could make G-6 if the grader was in a good mood), but I only paid AG-3 bid and it's a VAM-7 (the seller may not have known this, but my 16x loupe made it obvious!)
