Should I get this GSA graded...

Or leave in the box as is?

Unless the no longer do, TPGs will grade in GSA holders and add the label near the bottom of the case.
Should you get it graded? I think I would since it is a CC.

 

If you decide to grade it, it should be graded with the original government packaging. Very nice CC Morgan.

 

Go for a grade.

 

I'd probably send that one in. It looks like it would get a 65 from NGC. I would not send any GSA's anywhere other than NGC. PCGS slaps another layer of plastic over the original plastic case, and I am not a fan of ANACS. At least with NGC you can have it graded and still keep it in the original GSA Box with certs.

Those fields are pretty clean and the Liberty's cheek does not look bad either. Those look mostly like luster grazes on a very frosty cheek without much metal displacement. It could even get a 65+ in my opinion.

 

Looks nice enough to me to send in.

 

LEAVE IT IN THE ORIGINAL HOLDER (pls)!!!! NGC band is the way to go.

 

I meant leave it in the GSA cardboard box and put it away. Lol

 

Only get it graded by NGC, with the stripe around the original holder. I don’t think it is worth grading, as the bag marks on the obverse would limit it to 64. It is a 65 reverse, but given the obverse, I don’t see it better than 64. It is a nice, lustrous coin.

 

Its so nice looking, I would but idk

 

I think I’d send it in. Is a high end 64 on a bad day.

 

I'm at 64+

 

Ditto!

Yes, go for the NGC stripe grading if you feel that you need to have it graded. It will only get an MS-63, maybe 64 if you were to crack it out have it put in a slab. The 1883-CC is the most common Carson City dollar. It is more of a collectors' item in the government box because so many of them have been cracked.

 

So the consensus is MS63-65+. Large gap between opinions.

 

The top photo looks like there is a rim ding to the right hand side of the face on the obverse.

 

Yes, I know that Carson City dollars have gotten a push now and then from the graders, but with the marks that this one has on the cheek, if this 1883-CC dollar gets an MS-65 or very close to it, grade-flation will have become an epidemic. There is only so much Kool Aid in the pitcher.

 

MS-64 here

 

+1, my first impression was a bit higher, but I'm settling here.

 

I could live with 64+. It is a high end 64. Still not worth sending in, as it is not a clear 65.
