Okay, I'm playing with the cc morgans

This is a 1881cc pcgs ms65. I showed this before, but now I'm scanning it rather than the one I had stored from the seller. Thanks for putting up with these. This has nice orange-red periph tone and great frosty luster. I feel a little too many light marks for 65 but the eye appeal is what I feel brought this one up.

Can I come over and play?



Don't apologize! I could look at 'em ALL DAY. Thanks for sharing.


BTW. The rev looks absolutely Beautiful!

Mr Lee, you have given me some nice comments and I appreciate them. I need to go to the safe box and get some more coins to scan. Then you can come over and play.

stman,

That is very nice, when you get tired of playing I'll be happy to join Mr. Lee. Nice scan, I can't get mine that nice on a scanner.

The Morgan bug has me firmly in it's grasp. In the last week, I picked up what is, in my opinion, the most fabulous condition Morgan I have ever seen - an 1880-CC. I can't help but think this could grade very high. I also picked up a very nice 83-CC GSA and today an 85-CC at least MS-63.

My Morgan collection has taken a huge leap in the past month, and I am down to less than ten coins to complete the set. I have been upgrading as best I can, and I am down to a bunch of toughies now. The progress is going to slow down, although I do have an 84-CC in my sights.

When I started working on this, I had No, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA cc dollars, but I have been pretty lucky.

Sarasotafrank, I fully understand what you mean. A while back I decided to put a set of cc gsa's together. In about a month and a half I got all but the 79cc gsa. And planned on getting it even though it's expensive. But than started collecting barbers. I can't explain how crazy this coin thing gets.

I know how you are about marks on the face so the sharp strike & luster must make up for it. It is scuffy for a 65, though. The slight periph tone adds a little accent to it. Cool.
See you're figuring out the scan thing.

stman

Dog97, Yes you are right. I don't like my ladies marked up in the face.
But yes the strike is all there even the strands of hair over the ear that you like to see. And like I mentioned also the great frosty luster.
I took the balance of this coin and thats why I bought it. In person you couldn't really see this in a 64 holder. Would have been nice to pay 64 money though.

I slabbed my nicest GSA CC Morgans I bought 20 some years ago. Two are 65s & 1 is a 6. Grading services cut CC Morganss a little slack re contact marks as they traveled by stagecoach to San Francisco. So, it is typical to see more bag marks - especially on the obverse - for CC Morgans than from other mints.

You coin has a lot more bag marks than my 5s, so the luster / eye appeal of this coin must be fantastic (which I am sure is why you bought it in the first place).

Can't see too many of these. Nice job scanning this beaut.

Just added an EF 1889CC to my set. Working on these all the time.
