Good morning,

I am reaching out to the CCF for help getting an idea how my best non common Morgans would grade. If I can get 10 that would be worthwhile sending to ANACS.

My reasoning for ANACS is it is less expensive. I get a grade on the coins and I get to protect them from myself. My addictive personality will likely lead to me overhandling the coins. Sorry for the blabbering here is one of my 1891-o Morgans

I'd say AU-50, likely cleaned in the past. Not a good candidate to send to ANACS.

Still looking for a VAM.

Is that 9 closed or is it close with some damage?

Looks like VAM 11 O set right. Not 11-A because I don't see a clash under the G.

too much light. avoid overhead lighting as its causing shadows. we need to see what the surfaces look like in-hand.

the coin appears to have been cleaned and I would call it AU53 details (cleaned) . the embedded grime in and around all the letters are leading me to that. i'd be glad to reassess if you want to re-take photos without that glare.

if the coin graded straight it would be borderline for grading.

AU details, cleaned - not worth submitting unless you really want VAM attribution on the holder.

I quickly deleted the offending coin.

I will add a new picture of the same coin with less glare soon.
