My VG-8 1884-CC and 1893-CC Morgans, "reverse place-holders" for my AG-3 CC Collection, are now "homeless".  Just kidding, any CC coin is welcome in my collection!    This dealer had an entire case full of circulated CC coins, including three AG-3 1890-CC Morgans (too bad I have two of those already). He also had 1885-CC and 1891-CC, both solid G-4 coins, oh so close  , but I did get these two. This '93 is now the lowest-grade AG-3 I have.  These two really highlight the difference in wear that's possible between two coins that are both AG-3. You were right, SsuperDdave, I found my AG-3 '84-CC  Edited by DNA

DNA, I love the coins you have been posting. These circulated CC coins... What can you really say. They are spectacular! Thank you so much for sharing!

Great looking circulated CC Morgans! That 1893 looks borderline FR02. I guess if it were slabbed FR02 it would be worthy of a bean for being a high end of the grade. |

I was looking at that 93 thinking thats a FR02 as well. I think you may have dove a bit too low on that one DNA. LOL Regardless, very nice worn beauties.

The overwhelming majority of 1884 and 1885 Carson City Morgans in existence today are in Mint State condition, thanks to the GSA sales program in the 1970's. An 1885-CC in G grade will cost you twice as much as the typical GSA MS-63 1884-CC Morgan. I consider even my VG-8 1884-CC to be a "condition rarity". |

its nice seeing the CC's in these grades when a dollar meant something, just feels right when seeing them being used, I'm tired of seeing CC's in MS condition

just feels right when seeing them being used Check out this Craigslist ad selling a set of 19 GSA 1884-CC's. Quote:
"They are difficult to locate in nice condition." Which is why he has only 19 of them.   GSA's are "money coins", no problem at all to buy if you have the money. If I possessed every GSA 1882-84 CC Morgan I've ever seen in person, I'd have hundreds of them. Due to my use of G-VG coins as hole-fillers until I can find a good AG-3 for a particular date, I will also have a complete G-VG Carson City Morgan collection when I finish my AG-3 collection.
