I was getting ready to bid on this Morgan.

But the more I look at it ... Not sure it looks right.

Opinions please

It looks right to me and has the correct mintmark.

XF cleaned, but genuine in my eyes.

Seller has 100% FB and you are covered with the ebay guarentee even if the Seller doesn't offer returns.

What are your concerns with it?

It's been harshly cleaned and, yeah, it looks a bit mushy.

It's within 15 bux (lest you forget; that's the cost to grade one) of being able to buy an xf slabbed coin off of Heritage. And you'd have more choices.

Your .. Could be a 13 ... Or the 8


I am just doing a circulated set ... Some of the ones I have
Are G/VG ...I see this one has been cleaned ..

I have a problem ...doing sets .. Just want to get the holes filled.
Then end up ...upgrading later ... I know ..not the best way to collect.

Of course ..if the price goes to high ... I would not bid

I've got 34 holes filled. Funny how some of the common dates that are plentiful in MS grades tend to be uncommon in G - F condition.

Dave ... 34 is a good start, and I understand that it seems strange
how hard it is to find some of the common dollars in the lower grades.

I am down to four holes in the first album (1878 - 1890)
And 15 holes in the second album (1891 - 1921)

Most of the holes I have left are harder date coins. These I will
look for in lower grades. I say I want problem. But to me if the
problem is not major and the price is right, I will buy them.

I don't have as much problem with cleaned coins as some do.

Hey GR58, I believe a CCF member has a 1890 CC for sale right now in the B/S/T section.
