My Newest Morgan

Got this one just this morning after seeing it online over the weekend. The seller was nearby locally, so I emailed him to take a look at it in person, since his scan wasn't as clear as most. When I got there and he handed it to me, I WAS ONE HAPPY CAMPER! image The fields are a definite PL, with some of the usual "bag mark" hairlines in evidence. The marks on the cheek are not as deep as the scan implies, although there is a more serious hit on Liberty's chin. Being that it was still in the GSA box with COA made it more attractive to me, and it will reside with my '84. Just wanted to share this with everyone here!! image

    Looks nice & frosty with good cameo contrast. image
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    Neil, that is a nice looking coin. Also, it looks like a die clash. See what looks like a spike coming out of where the chin and neck meet? That is the outline of the eagle's wing. My 83-CC has the exact same die clash.

    Hey, you're on a roll, that makes a couple of nice Morgan NEWPS for you! image

    Very nice. Not the "usual" GSA CC found being offered by many dealers these days.

    Dash 8 variety. If the CC is normal, straight and centered, it is a Vam9; if the CC is tilted left it is a Vam12. Only minor die varieties exist for the '83CC; I only offer the Vam number for attribution.

    Thanks all! I am proud of her!! Just taking a short break here from painting the house, so I thought I would share the reverse with you.image K6AZ, take a look at the eagle's right wing. Although the scan doesn't show it very well there is another "mark" radiating from the wing to the "N" of 'IN'. Would this be another clash mark? I personally feel it's a solid 64, but even if it were a 63, I still enjoy those "near mirror" fields!!image

    Yes, that looks like part of the obverse design. Definitely a die clash, and a very nice coin. That is no 63! 64 minimum, and with the bump given to CCs, I say a good shot at 65.

    Here's an MS64DMPL that I have if you want to use it as a reference piece. If I'm not mistaken it's a VAM4 with a doubled date.

    WOW! Frank, that is one great looking Carson!! I don't think mine has nearly the bright fields, but they do definitely reflect lettering really well. Too many hairline "rubs" in my fields to give it DM. But I'll keep it! image
