Hello Friends, Hope you all are having a grteat weekend. Wanted to show you this 1878-CC Morgan which I think is a solid MS64 but wanted to check if it has any chance of a 65 at all? Please share your thoughts and thanks for all your valuable inputs.   |

Nice luster! The only concern is the lower cheek. Hard to see what's going on there, but that might hold it to a 63. Any way to get a sharper view of that area?

The fields look very clean but the area to the right of the mouth and chin have hits that will hold it back from gem. They are just very visibly located. I agree with 64 given that there seem to be no other visible hits elsewhere.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

That is a good sized hit on the cheek, MS-63.

I'll say MS-63.

Nice piece. I'd think MS63-64.

That gash is huge for the record. Anything over MS62 would be a miracle.
Better photos needed.

I can't see this above 63. Maybe better images would help.

Quote:While I agree it's a solid 63 with a shot at 64 but examples like the below PCGS graded coin makes me day dream of a 65 :-) https://www.pcgs.com/cert/35520999 That image shows few shallow marks, nothing deep. Although the chatter quantity may be similar, your coin has deeper cuts which hurt the grade. MS-64 tops. Quote:
