1884 CC Morgan: WWIG

The strike really isn't that bad, especially compared to some of the New Orleans mint coins. There is some weakness in the hair, but I'm ok with that, up to a certain grade.

The luster appears strong, and the eye appeal is solid. There are plenty of bagmarks on the coin, but the reverse fields especially are quite clean. The roller marks on the cheek, as many have mentioned, are mint-made. Theoretically, they should impact the grade up to about 65-66 (although, I would have a really hard time grading a coin 66 with roller marks - the rest of the coin would have to be exceptional!). Roller marks will, however, bring down the value.

All of that being said, this coin appears to be a solid 64. Certainly no 66, but it is a nice coin.
