Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 09/03/2015 6:44 pm Both coins are problem free, and have a steel gray color with some gold toning. Below is the 1889 CC: Below is the 1993 CC: Interesting that no one graded the 1893 CC higher than the 1889 CC, and I am not sure what that means. Is the 93 overgraded or the 89 undergraded? I picked up the 89CC last week in a Great Collection auction and I paid a $100 more than I wanted to pay. The 89 had been in the GUPTA Collection, so maybe it was getting a little more action. I had been out bid on 3 or 4 89CC in the past, so I got aggressive on a coin that I wanted. Edited by Slider23 09/04/2015 4:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 09/03/2015 7:41 pm I will add a bit of information. PCGS has these coins two grades apart and one of the coins has a CAC sticker. When I look at the coins in hand, they look very close to the same grade. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/04/2015 1:41 pm Wow. I gotta recalibrate my head somewhat. When we look at coins like these - especially the '89 - with so much consistent dark crud lodged in the nooks and crannies, yet otherwise "clean" surfaces, we immediately assume it's been cleaned rather harshly. Had someone else mentioned the possibility with these, I would have immediately agreed. In my opinion, the '89 would Bean at VF20 and the '93 at F15. I have them at those grades, but I'd be OK with one grade higher for each. I don't expect the major lines in the wings to be disappearing at VF30 or above, nor that little hair detail even at 25. /curmudgeon Report this Post to the Staff
