Grading thoughts on this 1893-CC Morgan?   |

Before you take my advice, I want to apologize. I am new to the grading realm. But to my eyes, I want to say it's a VG10 or maybe even a F12. Though, don't take my word for it.. I'm curious to see what others have to say, though.

Nice color and surfaces on a semi-key date Morgan. I'd say she's got enough left for a low Fine grade.

I'm going Fine but I'd say it's had at least one cleaning at some point or another. And something bothers me about the wear pattern: it's too N - S and looks like it was deliberately scraped a time or two. That means I'm suspect of the whole coin. I'm not a Morgan collector, so are you all confident on this one's pedigree?  The date itself isn't like my own coin of the era, but that could be wear.  |

It should squeak out F12. The obverse teeters between VG10 and F12 but the reverse is a strong F12.

F15 The coin looks like a VAM 4 Far Date. The CC is tilted to the left and the 3 should have a doubling at the top. I do see some white at the top of the 3 that could be the doubling. The wear pattern looks normal for a circulated Morgan. Dave700 is much better at VAM's than I am. Maybe Dave could confirm the VAM 4. |

Thanks for the VAM attribution, Slider! I hadn't thought to check that. It does look like it has the doubled 3. Not the greatest photo below, but I think you can see it.  |

Lots of wear on this one but it's a good looking coin I will say VG-10
