1890 CC Morgan Dollar Authenticity Check

The date and mint mark match VAM-3.

There's enough to worry about here so that I'm not touching it until I can see the doubling around 90 in hand. Fuzzy's points are valid, but I have to note that there's a gap in a "good" coin between the berry he mentioned and the branch, into which dark crud can lodge and create the appearance of more space than there actually is. Good eyes, buddy.

I don't think there's enough conclusive evidence to report it to ebay as a fake if I saw it there, but I wouldn't spend my own money on it.

I've bought and sold a few of these in various grades, all NGC or PCGS.

This coin just looks wrong. The date, with all the crud, also looks odd to me.

I'm not a VAMer, but I would pass on this one.

Looks like a genuine VAM 3 to me. Obv/rev hub types are correct, correct wing-neck gap, date is far and curved with the 1 in the proper position relative to the denticle below its left base, MM matches the V3 plate coins. It appears to have been heavily cleaned and/or dipped at some point and is just starting to retone, and still has a lot of "gunk" trapped in between the letters (look at the reverse motto.)
