Went to the Manchester NH Money show this past Saturday and worked a deal with Northeast Numismatics of Concord, MA. for this coin. Tom Caldwell of Northeast Numismatics was a pleasure to deal with for this coin, thank you. What do you think? Opinions welcome.

Great coin. Nice centerpiece.
Nice! I'd say slightly weaker strike than some but minimal distracting marks for the grade. I like it.
Really nice coin.
Extremely nice coin, especially for a key date. Congratulations!

Very well graded, what's not to like.
Good appearance with the cleaner (contact mark clean
) look. Should work well for your set.
The 1893 CC is one of the more variable dates. The strike can vary from full/nearly full to flat/very flat or almost pancake. But the luster has many 'mutations' also from the more typical CC luster, a more subdued luster to something resembling a more narrow semi-PL look (but few true PL's). With a relatively small mintage and just a few VAMs it is kind of surprising how they can vary so much. I recall looking at many before finally seeing that one that worked for me.

Nice addition. NEN has always been great to work with. I started buying from Chris about 15 years ago.

Beautiful coin!
NEN is one of my favorite vendors; by coincidence, I also bought my 1893-CC Morgan from them (though a much lower grade than yours), at VF35).
That's a really good looking Morgan frot he date/mm. The strike isn't quite full, of course, but the luster and the surface quality makes up for the bit of high-point weakness IMO. Nice pick-up! Congrat's!!

That's one heck of a CC Morgan. Many congrats!

Congrats!

Nice coin, enjoy it! Great pickup.
Really nice one!
Strike is weaker as seen on many others but the cheek and fields make up for that.
Been looking for one of these myself for quite a while. Many out there, just most of them are "ugly" (not eye appealing), at least to me.
Waiting for the right one, like yours, to pull the trigger on.
Nice pick-up!
Good one.
Don't know about the 93 CC, but much cleaner than most CC Morgans than I've seen. Strike looks like a New Orleans Morgan. Tom Caldwell has been around forever and really enjoys selling coins. Got my no motto Seated $ from him for my type set 25 + years ago.
