1880/79 CC Morgan

Hi all,

I just got this (and 4 other Morgans) from my dad's closet! This one has a slight indication of the 80/79 overdate. It looks like there are quite a few contact marks. What do you think? Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!

It definitely is the reverse of '78, and I think I see the 79 over 80, couldn't be really sure without close ups of the date. As for the grade, it has a good amount of bag marks, and that hit on the cheek is rough. Unfortunately I think the hit on the cheek might get it body bagged (Genuine holder), if not I think it would grade MS60. It also has a nice cameo contrast, and imo from the pics looks PL.

 

raider34,

thanks for your thoughts on this - much appreciated!

 

Wow nice CC. I agree with Raider. can you post a closeup of the date like this

 

thanks for the help - i've just attached a close-up picture of the date.

 

It sure looks like one to me!:kewl: very nice!:hail:

 

VAMs can be tricky, but not this one, lol, that is 100% VAM4 (80/79). Great find, it's one of the stronger examples of the over date. :thumb: Btw great pics too.

 

Thanks so much for your opinion on this!! :smile Does the mark on the face take away most of the value on this, or do you think it would still be of interest to a buyer?

 

That cheek mark not that bad. look MS63PL or DMPL plus the Vam

 

What a shame abt the hits, that is one beautiful coin. Great strike and I love the PL surfaces.

Thanks for sharing!!

 

From the pics it looks like it's in a GSA hard case, if so, I don't think you'll have any trouble finding a buyer.

 

Yes - it's in the GSA hard case. Thanks for all of the feedback everyone - this is a great forum.

 

Thank you for sharing a gem GSA 1880/79-CC :thumb::thumb::thumb:

 

It looks to be an MS-60 due to the heavy bagmarks. Still a nice coin.
