    yes, but I would like to see better pics before saying which of the two grades. That sure is nice for a CC Morgan.

    nice looking coin. Too small of pics to be really certain.

  • Thats the best scan I have,and I can't try to get a better scan now the coin is at the bank. It looks better than the scan.

  • Vet, Its a nice coin in the scan. I've seen more marks on quite a few PCGS 65's of that date and mint. But luster is really important so you never know without actually seeing the coin checking cartwheel under a light.

  • Thanks it does have a nice cartwheel that the scan doesn't show.

    Yes, at least a 64 IMO, depends how bad those light scratches on the cheek are in person. PCGS gives a lot of leadway on 85-CC's though.
  • Nice strike, luster, and frost. Looks like a 65 to me. I got my 1885-CC raw for $260 from a desparate seller 3 years ago, then had her graded as 61 (that was my guess too). 61 is very unusual for this date, but I was looking for a bargain. image

  • Nice Luster, very clear! From what I can see it leans more toward a 65. Again as was mentioned, it depends on the small visable nicks.
