What would you grade this 1883-CC?

AtcBob · March 8, 2003 7:56AM

I came across this in my collection. It's raw.
What would you all say is the grade, just for fun.....

Any possibility it's a proof? It's beautiful!

AtcBob · March 8, 2003 7:58AM

Thanks, but why a 65? I'm tryin to pick your brain...

AtcBob · March 8, 2003 7:59AM

Not a proof, but I bought it off E-Bay for $38.00, what would the worth be???

ccr · March 8, 2003 8:00AM

Looks really good! Looks MS65; MS66 maybe streaching it. Worth slabbing if you care to do so.

Edit to say - $38!?!?

Your joking aren`t you?

In MS65 it`s $300+! If your not joking, who did you buy it from?

nice cart wheel morgan I think it may grade a ms63 she has some pretty bad blemishes on her face that keep her from grading much higher

Cam40 · March 8, 2003 8:07AM

Slabbed PCGS MS64 could bring at least a couple hundred dollars I,m guessing,if not more.

MrKelso · March 8, 2003 8:07AM

Nice Luster a few marks on the face and neck the rev looks proofy nice. MS64

Bear · March 8, 2003 8:07AM

I would say high end PCGS ms-64 with semi PL fields. Definitly worth grading.

A shot 65 but I doubt it at PCGS.In any event , a true bargain for a lovely CC Morgan.

Lovely field but some deep cuts and scrapes on face is the reason no cigar.

jeffnpcb · March 8, 2003 8:08AM

MS65DMPL, but how did you get it for that price!

kieferscoins · March 8, 2003 8:08AM

You got a CC off ebay for $38?

Can you link the auction or give the item number?

Looks like a nice 64.

K6AZ · March 8, 2003 8:23AM

Even PCGS gives some leeway for CCs. Looks to me like a very strong 65.

Dog97 · March 8, 2003 8:31AM

Looks like there might be some rub on the face so if it's not 58 I'd say 64. I'd think the hits on the face & neck will preclude the 65 grade but maybe not.

AtcBob · March 8, 2003 8:32AM

I will tell you that the blemish's on her face are just scuff marks and not cuts or gouges. The reverse is virtually error free. I got the coin last year from a couple on e-bay who were selling their grandfather's coins. I tried to pull it up, but it's not there anymore.

Like I said the marks are just very light scuffs. I think it's beautiful myself, but I'm a lil' one-sided...

gsaguy · March 8, 2003 8:34AM

$38?

K6AZ · March 8, 2003 8:51AM

GSAguy.. it was probably one of those were the seller scans the whole bed of the scanner, and the coin is about 15 pixels in diameter.

09sVDB · March 8, 2003 9:08AM

Looks MS64. Possible PL?

stman · March 8, 2003 9:09AM

Since the fields look pretty clean but with some light scuffing in the face, and a couple heavier hits in the face I'd say 64.

Cam40 · March 8, 2003 10:33AM

Ya .The $38 price paid peeked my interest too.
What a bargain!!!!!
Luckily for you the couple obviously didnt know what they had.
On slabbing and selling,I,m not sure it wouldnt go for equal money raw as slabbed.
Instead of paying for grading fees just take lots of good pictures to show on Ebay
and let the CC people bid it up.
Conversely.Having it authenticated and encapsulated wouldnt hurt the resale value one bit.
What do the CC buyers say?

$38 Wow.
So,What IS wrong with the coin anyway huh?Nothing at all?
It does appear to be quite nice from the pics shown.

AtcBob · March 8, 2003 10:37AM

As a new PCGS member, I do have 4 free submissions. I think I'll have it graded. I feel that perhaps as everyone has said a MS65 grade would be fair? Just curious.

Thanks everyone!
Bob

Cam40 · March 8, 2003 10:49AM

a MS65 grade would be fair?

CC Morgans are given some leeway in grade as they should.If the bag marks arent too severe,65 would seem right.

I,m interested,with many others here,as to what it will come back as.

Good luck with the submission and let us know how it turns out.

AtcBob · March 8, 2003 12:19PM

Thanks guys...I will post as soon as it comes back...

Bear · March 8, 2003 1:20PM

Then we should hear from you in a few months If you get economy grading.

Gilbert · March 9, 2003 2:42AM

Interesting.

I see no photo OR indication your post was edited.

What are you guys grading?

Dog97 · March 9, 2003 2:53AM

It's a new thing we're trying Gilbert. It's called psychic grading. You think of a coin and we tell you what the grade is.

MacCoin · March 10, 2003 12:25AM
