Grade Posted: 1885-CC Morgan Dollar -- PCI MS-62 DMPL (Old Green Border Label)

Stuart

If you like, please guess the grade of this 1885-CC Morgan Dollar. It's been in my collection for about a year, but I only recently photographed it to share with you.

MS65 No DMPL?

Goober

Maybe it's just the picture but it looks wiped on the reverse.

Stuart

Thanks for the posts that you have already made. I'll reveal the grades about mid-day Sunday to give the morning shift a chance to grade them before I divulge the grade.

If you are anxious PM me and I'll reply with the grade.

Stuart

Goober: I think that you are referring to the apparent die striations that are evident on the reverse of the coin. The coin does not appear to be wiped in person.

Knowing Stuarts penchant for low grade coins.....

MS-66...hard to guess the PL/DMPL based on the pic.

(BTW...I sold a 1885cc MS-63 last year because I figured it was time to get out while the market was up. I offer free investment advice...worth every penny.)

Then you get my vote of a MS64PL

I prefer this coin to the 81 CC. 85 CCs are notorious for having lots of bag marks in MS 65. This coin's cheek looks very clean for the date & mint mark. The reverse appears PL, but not so with the obverse. There's a color discrepancy between the lt. & rt. sides of the obverse. Perhaps this is due to the imaging.

I'd guess this coin is MS 65, though it might be a 4 due to softness of strike re the hair over the ear & the breast feathers on the reverse are not bold..

If it was graded as harshly as the one I have it's a 62PL

I would say 63 DMPL.

morgannut2

Looks MS 66 PL ( striations on rev. hurt DMPL classification)

morgannut2

This date/MM is known for obv. marks on liberty and given grades appropriately. The die polish can Knock it down on rev from DMPL to PL if the mirrors on both sides are 8". IF the spots in obv. field are toning, it's an MS 66 PL or DMPL, otherwise PQ MS65 PL/DMPL.

Stuart

All: I'll post the grades around mid-day to give the morning shift a chance to comment. Thanks for the comments received so far!

Stuart,I am guessing BOTH coins are 65DMPL.Lloyd

Stuart

The grades for both the 1881-CC and 1885-CC Morgan dollars are:

1881-CC PCI MS-64 PQ (Old Green Border Label) 1885-CC PCI MS-62 DMPL (Old Green Border Label)

I plan to crack out both coins (and some others) from the PCI holders, and submit them to PCGS for grading.

Some of these old Green Border Label Slabbed coins appear to be very conservatively (or under) graded...
