Hi everyone,

I am new and would appreciate any help and insight. I have an 1891-CC Morgan silver dollar and know nothing about its history in regards to its origin.
It is sealed and certified by Federal Certification Service and is marked MS60/60 and is dated certified in 1987.
How would I be able to tell if this coin was from the GSA Hoard?

Also, with simply looking through a magnifying glass I have noticed 2 items listed on VamWorld. What can I do in regards to accessing a value with the following attributes:
- Reverse C3
Left serif of A in AMERICA cut down so it is further from wing, bottom feather of eagle's right wing squared off and raised.
- Die clash on reverse "from the obverse neck (above the wing) and back of the cap (next to the wreath)"

I haven't seen anything else simply because I need more magnification.

Thank you in advance for any input and help.

Welcome to Coin Community, GoodTimes17. Nice to see a new member posting their first in the VAM forum.

You'll never know if it was a GSA coin if it were removed from the original GSA packaging. Probably not; only 5700 of the original mintage of 1.6 million 1891-CC's were in those sales. And without the packaging there is neither cachet nor added value so the point is moot.

The C3 Reverse is merely an identifier of the reverse hub used for that issue, and has no bearing on either variety or value. As regards clashing, it may help with attribution but given the extreme commonality of clashing on Morgans, it can only be an attribution aid rather than a definitive identifier.

Next step necessary is images.

I know sorry. My photos are not anywhere the quality I am seeing on this forum. However, I will post these two.
I am posting the one with the flash to show the true color of the coin, versus the reverse side photo which is not the color of the coin at all.

to CCF. It's always a pleasure to have another Morgan collector/ VAMmer join the community. As SsDd and COTW have already stated, pictures are needed in order to attribute your Morgan in question. The only thing I can add at this point is VAM-6 occurs in a clashed version apparently with no letter transfer as there is no note of such or a sub variety.

edit - the pictures you uploaded while I was writing my response prove that is not a VAM-6 based on the date location.

Without looking at any markers, am I seeing a spitting eagle?

I found several 1982 Englehard silver pieces , 1 oz and titled the American Prospector. They are wrapped in plastic and I noticed some discoloration on the coins, like black dots or dirt. What could that be?

Silverbird, what does your question have to do with the topic of this thread? What you're doing here is known as "thread hijacking" and is a major online violation of courtesy.
