This is the second of the three CC Morgans I got this week. Opinions of grade?

I think I'm seeing hairlines on this coin but I can't be for certain.Which would mean it might of been cleaned.
Rest in Peace

Ralph, sorry I'm late checking into this and the other two topics. Seems the more retired I am, the busier I get. The snowbirds are starting to check into the RV park now that the temps have dropped out of the 100s, so I have been watching the water system fairly closely (I'm the state certified operator).

Whoa! I think we're looking at an FR-2 to AG-3, presuming the Morgan hasn't got other problems such as possible abrasive cleaning. Here's PCGS's definition of AG-3: Worn rims but most lettering is readable though worn. And FR-2: Mostly worn, though some detail is visible. It's a toss-up which it might be, but with a relatively common Morgan such as the 82CC, it doesn't particularly change the value.

Fred, I was thinking AG-3. It does have numerous, fine, hairline scratches on the obverse - primarily on the image; however, the reverse doesn't seem to have experienced the same treatment. Nor do the scratches, under 20X magnification, seem to be new - not real shiny like new marks would be. It's a filler, but I want to try to get as close as possible to the true grade for my spreadsheet.
I know what you mean about the snowbirds - lived in Phoenix for awhils some years back. They do flock in for the winter, don't they?
Rest in Peace

Arizona must double in population in the winter!

My RV park had a permanent summer population of three - the year round caretaker and a couple who couldn't leave due to a broken hitch. I spent the summer in the northern Arizona mountains at 7100+ feet where it was pleasantly cool most of the time, albeit rainy (I had never heard of the AZ "monsoons" until this summer, my first in AZ). The park population is now ten with more expected daily now that the hot weather has broken. At peak, we'll have 80 folks although if everyone who "owns" a space were all here at the same time, it would be around 120. Not exactly a typical non-transient Arizona RV park where they're stacked up in the hundreds with ten feet separation. We each have about an acre. Our advantage is that we are in the middle of the nowhere desert with no sewer nor electrical hookeups (we provide our own power through generators and solar with some wind power), water on for two hours per day, and truck pumpouts twice per week by schedule. Semi-boondocking, we don't have the RV population pressures that one might find in Quartzsite, Tucson, or Casa Grande. And, as a ham radio operator, I have put up a sizable mast and antennas with no restrictions whatsoever. It's more of a co-op than a rental-type park, so we're all sorta family here.
