<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2162545, member: 1765&quot;]Maybe this isn&#039;t a good example, since the picture&#039;s not very good, but here&#039;s an 89-CC graded MS61.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t have a lot of hits, but it other factors (luster, eye appeal) are limiting it to 61.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/itm/morgan-dollars/silver-and-related-dollars/1889-cc-1-ms61-ngc-the-89-cc-morgan-dollar-is-immediately-recognized-as-one-of-the-important-dates-in-this-series-the/a/420-1329.s" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/itm/morgan-dollars/silver-and-related-dollars/1889-cc-1-ms61-ngc-the-89-cc-morgan-dollar-is-immediately-recognized-as-one-of-the-important-dates-in-this-series-the/a/420-1329.s" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/itm/morgan-dollars/silver-and-related-dollars/1889-cc-1-ms61-ngc-the-89-cc-morgan-dollar-is-immediately-recognized-as-one-of-the-important-dates-in-this-series-the/a/420-1329.s</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here&#039;s a more recent one with PL fields.&nbsp; A few small, heavier marks, but seems like it should be grading higher.&nbsp; The PL glam shot could be hiding hairlines or something else we&#039;re not seeing.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/itm/morgan-dollars/silver-and-related-dollars/1889-cc-1-ms61-ngc/a/1219-5163.s" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/itm/morgan-dollars/silver-and-related-dollars/1889-cc-1-ms61-ngc/a/1219-5163.s" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/itm/morgan-dollars/silver-and-related-dollars/1889-cc-1-ms61-ngc/a/1219-5163.s</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here&#039;s one graded MS63.&nbsp; It has a &quot;tighter&quot; look to it, a little frostiness to the luster, and is generally more eye-appealing.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/itm/morgan-dollars/silver-and-related-dollars/1889-cc-1-ms63-ngc/a/1207-3844.s" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/itm/morgan-dollars/silver-and-related-dollars/1889-cc-1-ms63-ngc/a/1207-3844.s" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/itm/morgan-dollars/silver-and-related-dollars/1889-cc-1-ms63-ngc/a/1207-3844.s</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I don&#039;t pretend that TPGs don&#039;t use market grading and indirectly assign value to the coins, especially when they back up their grading with cash.&nbsp; I also don&#039;t think this is a bad thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
