photoeric21 Valued Member United States 206 Posts	Posted 01/10/2009 10:43 pm Hey Everyone.. We'll up in the North East we're getting a bit of snow, but the vendors at the flea market were still out there. Found this beauty on a table full of old tools, and home improvement books. Was kinda buried under a pile of stuff.. 20 bucks! This is by far my best find and best purchase I've made. Any thoughts on a grade or value?

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/11/2009 12:04 am Are you kidding me? First of all, you get fruit: OK. My guess, from looking at the lack of contrast in the fields of the coin (I assume these are scans, right?), is that this one has been cleaned at some point in the past. I may be wrong. I'd call it Cleaned, with a strict grade of EF40. No doubt you'd see north of $100 for it, maybe $150, with a decently-written ebay auction. Report this Post to the Staff
photoeric21 Valued Member United States 206 Posts	Posted 01/11/2009 12:10 am Superdave... You are correct, these images are scans... and I agree with you on the cleaning. Thanks a bunch for the opinion. This is the only CC Morgan I own. I originally got into collecting when my uncle died and left me some coins. He had plenty of Morgans but nothing from Carson City. Happily, I'll add this to his collection. Report this Post to the Staff

dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 01/16/2009 5:00 pm I'll give it a try. I am a novice at trying to grade cons, but the descriptions I am reading, your coin does NOT appear to have enough detail for EF45. I will guess EF40. value approaching $200. I will be curious to see what the more expertise members have to say. Report this Post to the Staff
photoeric21 Valued Member United States 206 Posts	Posted 01/16/2009 7:58 pm IUH- the flea market is in Wallingford, CT - about 5 towns over from where I live.. called the Redwood Flea Market If there are any other Connecticut CCFs hereI would really recommend it, I've had some decent luck there in the past Report this Post to the Staff
