<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1219332, member: 26030&quot;]Hey Conder,&nbsp; I pulled my 1885-CC Morgan (from the GSA sale in the 1970&#039;s) out of my safe depost box and checked it.&nbsp; No VAM-4 Doubled Dash.&nbsp; Oh well.&nbsp; No idea on the grade on this but I am guessing that PCGS might assign an MS63?&nbsp;&nbsp; The reverse looks cleaner than the obverse (the reverse might be a 64 ... but they dont grade that way!)</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s interesting but the grade really doesn&#039;t affect the value that much on this date/mint combination as the online PCGS guide lists the values as: </p><p><br /></p><p>G4 = $600</p><p>F12 = $615</p><p>VF40 = $630</p><p>MS62 = $665</p><p>MS63 = $675</p><p>MS64 = $715</p><p><br /></p><p>I think you would be hard pressed to find another coin (series/date/mint combination) over 100 years old where there is such a small spread between a G4 ($600) and an MS64 ($715)!&nbsp;&nbsp; Although maybe there are other Morgans in a similar boat?</p><p><br /></p><p>So funny that I cannot remember how much I paid for this back in the 1970&#039;s but if your information is correct that I paid $60 for it -- that&#039;s a bargain.&nbsp; I am guessing this might bring $600+ on the open market today.</p><p><br /></p><p>When compared to all CC Morgans, the 1885-CC actually had the lowest mintage (238,000) -- however because it was included in the GSA sale where many Unc&#039;s were released, it&#039;s a lot more common (and less expensive) than some of the other CC dates (1879-CC, 1889-CC, and 1893-CC).&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>When compared to the entire Morgan series, the 1885-CC has the 3rd lowest mintage of any date/mint combination, only eclipsed by the 1893-S (100,000) and 1894 (110,972) -- I&#039;m not including the 1895 which was Proof only and not a business strike.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]129472.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
