<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 2293504, member: 37839"]Thanks. MS 65 CC Morgans are basically not really gem grades, when compared to other coins in the series. TPGs do go gently with the grade on all of the cc dates, even those common ones. The strike generally bumps them up, as a bad cc strike is quite uncommon. So, figure a one grade bump for being a cc, and unless one is absolutely hung upon one grade (getting a pure, genuine MS 65 DMPL), there is little sense to buy them purely on grade. I would go for eye appeal more, and find a reasonably priced coin that has really nice mirrors for a 64. That is what I always look for in CC dollars---the eye appeal, more than one grade. I have seen some incredible looking 63 DMPLs as well in terms of reflectivity. I'd say don't get grade hung on them, as a really nice 64 can look better than a baggy 65 that just squeaked by as MS 65 DMPL. I would stick with the big two (PCGS and NGC) as you would be pretty sure on getting a legitimate DMPL.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
