1891 CC Morgan grade and worth

Ok it took me a while to find a good place to take the photos and then get them compressed to be posted. Hope this works. I was wondering what kind of grade and worth it may have. I won it in an auction, paid less than $80 for it.

VF-XF I would say with an unattractive rim ding. Bid is $85 to $110. So maybe $95?

 

xf45 damaged and cleaned this will hurt the value

 

XF Cleaned, damaged, net VG or low F price.

Shame.

 

Merc is probably right.

 

It's well worn, I see damage, as Merc pointed out, my opinion is no higher than F and I wouldn't go higher than $80 even though it's a CC.

 

How do you tell if its been cleaned? I would like to be able to spot that in the future, before I purchase something. Thanks for the quick responses.

 

Hairlines; little scratches all over the place.

 

Also fake-looking luster?

 

The underlying luster on this particular coin looks fantastic, though... If a coin looks too clean given the amount of wear it has, be cautious.

 

Some coins just also have that "polished" look to them too.
