brenpickle Pillar of the Community United States 836 Posts	Posted 05/18/2021 7:31 pm My wife bought me this and I am not the best on circulated Morgans and I know 1890cc is a common counterfeit date. The mint mark seems off to me. The first C in the CC is weak like it is grease filled, but under magnification it seems like they may have tooled an O into a C and then added a C. The second C is almost touching the leaves. The closest VAM seems to be 11, but I see no mention of grease. As for grade I am thinking this is a VF 25, would you agree with that. Thank you for help.
