Value of Genuine (cleaned) graded Morgan Dollars

FolsomMike62

Hello,

I recently had some Morgan Dollars graded and they came back with a Genuine grade. One was Unc Genuine, 2 were AU Genuine and one was an AU repaired. I'm trying to understand what a fair market price is for these coins. I understand they are worth less because of being cleaned. Is there a "rule of thumb" on how these should be priced compared to non-cleaned grades? I've attached two examples.

1880-CC - PCGS 49404977

1883-S - PCGS 49404979

I think it all depends upon the coin's population and collector need. In my opinion any CC minted coin will suffer less of a hit when cleaned than say a 1922 P Peace dollar cleaned in a similar manner. Neither coin appears to be too badly damaged by cleaning and I can't see where the other coin was repaired, but that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

I typically see the problem coins listed on eBay at great prices but since I'm building a Morgan registry set, I scroll past them. eBay sold listing may be your best bet for researching the values...

For example, the last 3 sales of 1880-CC with UNC details with various problems:

3/17 $620 UNC details with questionable color
4/2 $526 UNC details with cleaning
5/20 $599 UNC details with polishing

Hope this helps.

Thank you Samets. Very helpful. Do you have some key date Morgans you are looking for for your registry set? There are over 350 Morgans in the estate collection I am trying to liquidate. Thank you.
