1893 CC Morgan - Problem Coin or "just old"???

I'm just looking for an opinion from the crowd.

I bought this coin raw 2-3 years ago. I just want to get an opinion as to whether the coin looks "okay" or "messed with". The more I learn, the less likely I would be to buy a raw coin. I'm just wondering if it was a bad idea back then. If you'd like to venture a grade, that would also be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

    Looks fine to me.

    Fine-12 I'd say.
    When in doubt, don't.

    That coin will grade and there's not a problem I can see with it. Honest wear and pocket carried.
    Send it in if you want to sell as you'll get top dollar in PCGS plastic.

    Thanks for the replies so far.

    It's nice to think that maybe not everybody selling raw coins is out to rip you off.

    Thanks, Ralph

    Nice piece... I'd say F12 for the Reverse (eagles breast is pretty flat) but there's a bit more than F12 detail on the obverse...F15??

    It looks real sweet to me.

    That's the sort of "toning" I like on silver.

    Looks nice and original. Great to see one that hasn't been 'improved upon.'
