Nice pick up! I love the CC coins. I have a couple I've picked up and would love more.

The other CCs in the low/mid grade range shouldn't be all that difficult for you..........except for the 1885CC - finding one in a pleasing mid grade may prove to be the biggest challenge - seem to be about as scarce as hen's teeth. Plenty of uncirculated ones around, but those that got spent by the cowboys and miners..........


Thanks for the tip. It's good getting advice like this, especially when it comes from the master of Morgan sets.

In Q. David Bowers' Red Book on Morgan dollars he states that the spitting eagle variety is actually more common than the non spitting eagle. However it is a very interesting sight to see an eagle spitting.


Interesting. So is the non-spitting version a VAM of its own?

I am surprised you asked this question, I would have thought you had this VamWorld page book marked http://www.vamworld.com/Morgan+VAMs+By+Date

1891-CC VAMs 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 are non spitting and VAMs 3 and 7 are spitting.

Actually, I'm not a Vammer in the least bit. I find a few of them to be interesting, but I just don't have much interest in varieties. As you can see, I didn't even bother to look it up. Hehe. That's not to say that this won't change. It might be the avenue I move into after I complete my Morgan set. We'll see. Thanks for the info.

Congrats!

I love circulated Morgans, especially CCs as I feel they have even better stories to tell... Brothels and six shooters and train robberies and aces up the sleeve... Stories that MS coins don't tell as well. Nicely done!
