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.
