I'm MUCH more of a Peace dollar guy than a Morgan guy, but every now and then I'll find a Morgan dollar that has a look that appeals to me, and the price is right, so I'll go for it. I was at a local coin club meeting earlier this year. During the show and tell period of the meeting one of the members, who is also a vest pocket dealer, mentioned that he had just picked up an assorted collection of Morgans, and showed us some of them. I really liked the '84 CC, and after the meeting asked the member if he wanted to sell it, and if so, what did he want to sell it for? He said yes, and the price was very reasonable, so I snapped it up. FWIW, I'd grade it a MS63+. The images are by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job. For the obverse image I used a pic that emphasizes the color, but as you can see from the reverse image, there is actually a LOT of luster underlying the color on the obverse.
Oops, if you've ever seen the sales report for 82-84 cc in the GSA sales , then you'd know the odds were in my favor that it was still In the OGP fwiw
63 seems a little low honestly. I'm not seeing much that would bring it below a 64. Then again, I have no idea what I'm talking about
Nice looking coin. I can't read the obverse surfaces very well based on the type of picture taken, but 63-64 looks reasonable from here.
It is, but i think he was referring to the sorting process during the GSA sales. When the dollars were sorted, some were put into the circulated category by mistake, most of the time it was probably because of toning.
Solid 63, with beautiful toning. I would submit it to NGC for a possible MS 63 star grade for the obverse toning.
Beauty! I'd say it has a chance at 64. Some of the contact marks on the obverse devices concern me a little, but overall a very attractive coin.
