Crusty CC Morgan

I lean towards circulated coins, and like ones with character. I recently picked up this 1878 CC from David Kahn, the light areas correspond almost exactly to the remaining mint frost. Guess the grade if you are so inclined.

Decent looking coin. Sorry, I'm not inclined to comment on Photo's for grading at this time. Who's David Kahn anyways?

I'm not comfortable with the position of the mint mark CC, therefore no comment on the grade, good luck.

and evil coin dealer that takes far too much of my money but darn they usually got some nice stuff

 

No guess. I am convinced that grading heavily toned Morgans is sorcery, witchcraft, and one must be a member of a cult to learn the secrets that the TPGs use for grading guidelines. Just a hunch, based on your comment about liking circulated coins, it's not UNC.

Do you suspect a fake, or an added mintmark? If so, it got by the PCGS graders.

 

Thanks for all the comments and guesses! As noted above, it came from David Kahn, a dealer out of Maryland, who runs a couple of weekly auctions on eBay and is very respected in the biz.

 

I think that grade is low.

 

That grade seems to be a little low to me, its for sure at the vey least a 53 or even a 55 in my opinion based on what I see in the photos.

 

It just seemed awkward to me, I would not have purchased it, but you did so congrats and good luck.
