Just picked this up this afternoon. Took two hrs off early, got the tires rotated, then stoped at the local coin shop. I had thought about buying a high end coin, but just something about a CC Morgan that could have been used to buy whiskey at a saloon in the 1800's or used to buy a horse. Couldn't pass it up,  I figure it to be a VF35.   |

I'd say VF-25 on this one. Nice coin though. May have had an old wipe.

I'm very far from a pro at this, using photograde I like this one at VF-35.

I think Spud has got it about right, in the VF-30/35 range.

VF-30.
Looks like there is something going on in the left obverse field.

I like this coin at EF-40, maybe 45... Hmm.. looking at it again, I see I may have undergrads it. However, I don't think this coin was a weak strike, the eagle's body is worn flat, similar to an F-15, the wings are of a higher grade, around 35 maybe. And if you look at the eagles mane, you see that there is very little detail left there too. On the Obverse, Lady Liberty's hair is oddly worn, with some strands of hair wearing all the way down and with the others maintaining that almost EF grade. Overall I don't see this coin making more than VF-35 at most... Just my opinion ofcourse. |

I have to agree with you zxcccxz, the obverse has both EF and VF details but overall it's a VF coin. I like it just the way it is. I'm learning to grade coins and wanted to test my skills by telling you what I think then seeing what you all think. I think I got it right this time. We'll see on the next coin I get raw. This forum has taught me a lot!

I'm at VF on this one. Quote:
