1891-CC Morgan

I was working on my picture taking, so here is a 1891-CC Morgan that I picked up today.
The auctioneer/dealer graded it an XF.
Do you agree ?
The main problem on this coin is the hit on the rim below the date.
Other than that, I think it is a decent coin.
Anyone know the VAM number ?
The mintmark appears to have doubling on the first C.

*edit*
After checking under the microscope, the first C is not doubled.
It is just merely fatter than the second.
Is this normal on CC's ?

I guess you guys must think it's lower than XF then...LOL

Any opinions on the picture taking ?
I think I did a little better.
I captured a little of the toning.

 

Hmmmm......... Im having trouble with this one........ I think it was accuratly graded.

 

I think so too.
There is wear on the hair above the ear and forehead, but the rim-dings really knock it down.
I just wanted to see if everyone agreed with my auctioneer/dealer's grading.

I may consider selling this coin.
I'm not sure yet.

 

What did you spend on it??

 

Nice Morgan Roto! I will leave the grading to the experts. The photos on the Obv and Rev do not seem natural as a result of the lighting. It seems like you need more/different light. The lighting seems to come from a standard lightbulb causing the coin to have a golden tone. This could just be my monitor? The mint mark looks good even a little blurry. While I can see the toning I would bet it would appear more purple than the photos show? You can see the detail really well I just don't think the photo's show the color of the coin quite right.

Looks like you did good at the auction - Congrats! I'll have to live vicariously through your recent buys ...

Nice coin! I agree with the grading. I see the rim dings, but to me they are not that bad. The pictures look fine to me, but I find it hard to get the toning into the pictures. I have not figured that part out yet.

 

Thanks Guys !

Thanks GDJMSP, I definatly trust your grading.
I think I missed the wear on the cap, wear on the hair near the neck, and I didn't take the multitude of nicks in to account.
On the reverse that divot below the arrows doesn't help any, either.
I guess there is just general wear on all the high points.
Am I missing anything ?
