I bought this 1889-CC Morgan dollar in a less than reputable local shop in September 1998 for $237. I loved the look of the coin with the dark fields and well worn, but light relief. I submitted it to PCGS in September 2010. What do you think?   |

I'll say VG-08 with nice circulation cameo.

I'm going out on a limb here and guessing the first C is an altered O and the second C has been added. A good close up of the mint mark could either confirm or dispel this theory.

I think they gave it VG-10.

It's a bad fake unfortunately. The MM is tilted wrong and just looks off in general.

Some of you nailed it right on the head! I bought it as a thirteen year old, with my old Red Book in hand as my guide, thinking it was VG(8). I heard everything from G(4) to cleaned, and when PCGS finally returned it, I was pleasantly surprised to get...VG(10)! The picture of it loose was taken before I submitted it in 2010.
