You have way too many 1875 CC. Please send one to me to help even everything out.  Nice collection, but you have to add at least one dollar to it. |

Nice. Very original looking.
I'd like to add more CCs too, but all I have are a bunch of Morgans and GSA Morgans.

Those are awfully nice 20 cent pieces, and must have taken quite a while to find. I've got one nice-toned VG 1875-cc 20 cent, and considered myself lucky to find it in 20 years of looking. Probably the best cc I have right now is an 1878-cc quarter in AU. Not great in terms of rarity, but for showing off all the mint's faults - deeply scratched obverse die, rust spots and all.

Prethen doesn't go for the "Common Stuff" remember ? He would never own a Morgan dollar CC (or any other mintmark) |

Right but if he's making a grouping of CC's the he needs atleast a dollar in there.

Prethen, I am sure that you are not interested in a "common" CC Morgan, but have you thought about a nice CC Seated or Trade dollar A much less expensive alternative would be to look for a matching set of 1875CC dimes with mint marks above and below the wreath. |

Morgan dollars, in general, don't interest me much simply because they are very available and essentially trade as a commodity. I know that the CC's are a sexier mint to have and are higher priced due to demand, but they are generally quite available as well. My eyes just glaze over when I go to a coin show and see case after case filled with Morgan dollars. I mean no disrespect to Morgan collectors...they just don't do anything for me. I've bought and sold hundreds of them. I only have a few, including a nice AU 1882 O/S, otherwise the rest are super common. Any other CC dollar is basically out of my reach. I'm still looking for other CC type material, but not gold. |

Nice selection of twenty centers. What do they all grade, VF-XF?

Ditto on the morgan cc's - I'll take the seated material any day of the week. I sold them all except for the 1893-cc in F12, which I hung on to for being the last year of the mint. Considering where the prices have gone, I kick myself every once in a while for selling the 1889-cc for $125. But it was a G-4, and 15 years ago that's what they sold for.

Nice. The only CC coin I own is a Morgan dollar I bought from Bryan. |
