[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2714547, member: 1892"]The 1879-CC is rather beat up, damaged and although a nice collectible year, probably wouldn't bring you as much as $150 if graded. The 1884-S is one of the rarest of all Morgans in Mint State condition, and it'll cost you $10k to own one in MS60. MS64 is a six-figure coin. Do I have your attention yet? :) This is why it's kinda important to try to grade your coins from images. I'm thinking your 1884-S is likely slightly circulated - there are marks on it I don't believe would happen sitting around in a bag at the Mint - and the hairlines to the left of the profile are possibly evidence of a cleaning. It may still be a thousand-dollar coin. If it's real; these are rare enough in high grade to be counterfeiting targets.[/QUOTE]
