Kman Pillar of the Community Canada 933 Posts	Posted 09/16/2013 3:26 pm I would definetely send this one in, minimum value is $105 and yours definitely isn't anywhere close to that, yours looks. MS Report this Post to the Staff
bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 09/16/2013 3:50 pm Silverstack. An 1878 CC is high buck in any grade. Lets see what the Morgan people say. Not my forte but, nice pick up. Hope the price was right! Report this Post to the Staff
morgandude Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 09/16/2013 4:10 pm I think this is AU50. I would not send it in as Raw it appears to be worth 155, and slabbed it appears to be worth 180. With at least $40 in slabbing fees it is not worth it.

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 09/16/2013 4:12 pm Nice example, AU50-55, but I would not send it in either. I would recommend that if you want a slabbed coin, buy it already slabbed by one of the TOP III Third Party Graders. Edited by oih82w8 09/16/2013 4:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36841 Posts	Posted 09/16/2013 4:27 pm AU-55 or possibly a little better. Should be worth sending in to a TPG for grading. Report this Post to the Staff

NathanASE Pillar of the Community United States 1511 Posts	Posted 09/16/2013 7:08 pm Nice first Year CC. AU-50 maybe 55. If you want to slab it by all means go ahead... Personally I wouldn't, but that's just me. I would value an AU-50/55 more of the $120-$150 range. Is it just me or does it look like it was Struck Through Grease or something on the eagles feet, tail feathers, arrows and the wreath below? It looks like weird, uneven wear? Heavily worn there but nowhere else? All I can think is a Grease Filled Die? It also depends what your in it for already as grading would add to that cost.

Geohoarder Valued Member United States 339 Posts	Posted 09/16/2013 7:12 pm Yeah, it's only worth slabbing if it's at least MS 60 and does not appear to be. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18689 Posts	Posted 09/16/2013 8:16 pm AU50. Looks improperly cleaned to me Edited by panzaldi 09/16/2013 8:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
iraqandroll Valued Member United States 196 Posts	Posted 09/17/2013 8:42 pm I too would pass on getting it graded all though it looks like a very nice coin. If slabbing is all right with you, some don't like it, then you should consider buying your higher end coins all ready slabbed. I am worried about fakes as the prices get higher, just me though.

Not a huge value-adder, but it makes for a more interesting coin. Report this Post to the Staff
