Here's a nice crescent toned CC Morgan dollar. I would appreciate your thoughts on grading, and also how much of a premium the toning might bring.   |

With that cheek, I'll say MS-63.

I agree, MS63 and little to no premium for the toning unfortunately.

Solid MS-63, without any major issues. There is a bit of chatter on the cheek, neck, hair behind the ear, and cap below the ribbon. The reverse is better, but not enough to pull the grade up. No premium for the toning.

I am at 63 with a shot at 64.

Very solid MS63. For lovers of subtle Morgan toning, I'd expect a very modest/modest premium.

MS-63+. Neat toning, I am sure somebody might pay a few bucks more because of it.

I say 64 on a good day, but likely 63 from all the marks on the front.

I'd say 64. Usually 63's are a bit more baggy.

MS63. Marked up cheek holds this coin.

the 84(CC)'s are well known for sharp strikes. this is definitely short on strike for both sides. a good amount of rub along with field abrasions and little marks here and there. the cheek and neck although not deeply scratch there are quite a bit of small dings and chatter. two dings above the eye. imo the toning will not anything to the grade nor the value. this toning typically occurs in the bag where one coin has been sitting offset on another.
MS63

I should add that crescent toning is gorgeous and adds some eye appeal. Reverse is also 65 range so with the obverse at least 63+ that plus eye appeal also tilted me up to a 64 range for it.

I see 1884-CC VAM-4A Spiked Date, Pinned Wing Gouge.
I'll also say MS-63 , possibly a 64.

@GMS5, you're correct about the VAM-4A. Here's a better view of the pinned wing gouge on this coin.  Thanks, everyone. I was also thinking this was about a 63. The reverse toning is pretty dramatic in hand. I might list this on ebay and see if anyone is willing to pay a premium for the toning. Edited by Zurie
