Looks like a pocket piece to me. Possibly to remove hairlines or to just brighten it up but I'm going with ex-pocket. Price is decent

Washed out dull look indicative of cleaned silver.
Price is very fair though. I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on it.

Are you trying to complete a set of Morgans? It is a pretty good price for a 1889CC in good condition. If I were trying to complete a set and I was not a millionaire I would probably buy it. You can get one for in the neighborhood of $1250 in VF condition if you ever see one in that condition according to price guides.

I generally flip but this one I'll hold. I like to buy keys.

I am seeing the coin as maybe being dipped or conserved vs improperly cleaned. If I was looking for one in this price range, I would have no problem buying, and Caacade makes a good point of it being pocket piece.

I'm sorry but the only thing appealing to that coin is the price. It has been harshly cleaned, and I am totally surprised that PCGS didn't note that on label .  |

Whatever on the possible cleaning. Maybe a raccoon had it for a while. I don't like the reverse rim ding, but it's fit to pull out of the holder and go back in a pocket.

VT ... IMHO, you can likely pick up a raw VG-8 for that money at a show. Low grade Morgans, even the keys, tend to be relegated to dealer boxes. I'd bide my time. If you have money to burn, grab another Fugio!

Some days like today I feel like I have been harshly cleaned and dipped in acetone for way too long. Coins.....I feel you!
