1893 PCGS MS-61, and an 1893-CC PCGS VF-20.
|
|
Bradford Pear Collection. Blazing luster emits white brilliance for the entire 1893 aside from a hint of magenta on the reverse, and central details look a trifle soft as is often the case for this... |

1893-CC NGC MS-62.
|
|
Checkered Collection. Whereas many examples display excessive bagmarks, this MS-62 1893-CC features uncommonly well preserved surfaces, aside from a handful of curling abrasions on the cheek. This... |

|
1893-CC NGC MS-62.
|
|
While 1893-CC often comes prooflike, the dies that struck this example had just about eroded completely to a more familiar frosted state. Still, the fields display rather flashy luster, and benefit... |

1893-CC ICG VF-20.
|
|
Perfectly graded at VF-20, with bold features but a lack of the finest details over the ear and at the eagle's breast. This semi-key features lovely ice-blue patina in the fields, joined by golden... |

1893-CC NGC UNC details/artificial toning.
|

We all know that it is generally best to steer clear of any discussion about doctoring coins, but if ever a silver dollar needed to be dipped, it might be this one. The obverse actually looks just... |

|
1893-CC ICG VF-35.
|
|
The ICG VF-35 grade is pinpoint accurate for this, a just-miss XF key-date dollar. Grading accuracy is important to this particular issue, since the value doubles between VF and XF, and as a 100%... |

| 904 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011 | $3,200.00 |
|
1893-CC PCGS MS-61.

Neither side displays any perceptible color, though the surfaces have pleasing eggshell-white patina that suggests original quality. The impetus for a lower mint-state grade becomes obvious at once,... |

|
1893-CC (VAM-3, alligator eye) XF details/cleaned.
|
|
Blatantly white and somewhat chalky, a nearly drastic cleaning is plainly obvious. Redeeming the value to some extent is strong detail at about the XF-40 level, but neither side displays even a... |

| 700 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $1,050.00 |
|
1893-CC PCGS XF-40.
|
|
Impartial assessment of the obverse details leads to conclusion that this pewter-grey Morgan dollar may be (ahem) optimistically graded, since the curl above Liberty's ear is flat, and a number of... |

|
1893-CC PCGS MS-60 (rattler).
|
|
A number of factors conspire to limit the grade to the most basic (and sadly, most under-utilized) uncirculated grade of MS-60. Despite strong underlying luster, surfaces are hazy and lack energy,... |

1893-CC NGC VF-30.

|
1893-CC NGC AU-53.
|
|
Little luster remains to support an about-uncirculated grade assessment, but on the other hand, details are quite sharp and hardly worn at all! AU-53 would appear to be NGC's "compromise" grade to... |

1893-CC PCGS Genuine.

PCGS Genuine-92 indicates cleaning, and in this case, the offending activity was not all that drastic, producing dull silver-grey surfaces that display little by way of hairlining, but also very... |

1893-CC PCGS XF-40.

1893-CC PCGS VF-35.

When an original Morgan dollar is properly graded VF-35, it can exceed the aesthetic appearance of XF coins, and that is the case here. This 1893-CC benefits from supremely original dove-grey color... |

1893-CC VAM 3 "Alligator Eye." PCGS MS-61.
|
|
Unknown to many collectors is that 1887 is not the only Morgan dollar to feature an "Alligator Eye". 1893-CC VAM-3 is a lesser known appellation of that reptilian nomenclature, also identified by... |

1893-CC XF, reverse scratched.
|
|
Pleasing silver-grey patina is relieved by golden accents at the obverse margins. Although the presence of a little mint luster could suggest a slightly higher grade, the a couple of handling marks on... |

|
1893-CC PCGS MS-63.

Extremely white, with a pronounced double die clash that has resulted in a prominent die break near the top of the right end of the reverse wreath. As is expected of the MS-63 grade, a generous number... |

1893-CC Morgan dollar EF-40
|
|
This key date coin may prove to be a little too "white" for some, but it does not display any particular tell-tale signs of cleaning, and so your cataloger feels it could almost certainly be certified... |

1893-CC Morgan dollar, NGC MS-62
|
|
Polar white surfaces display only the merest breath of gold color at the outermost rims, and the frosted motifs suggest a hint of semi-prooflike character. Not as well struck as usual for the issue,... |

1893-CC XF-45.

It is likely that this flashy, nearly untoned coin was prooflike when struck, as the reverse still displays excellent mirrors with deep reflectivity. Further, the Eagle displays the halo of... |

|
1893-CC NGC AU-53.
|
|
Lack of a little bit of luster for the AU level seems compensated for by the better-than-average detail for the AU grade; hence, the intermediate AU-53 assessment. A dash of blue color in the left... |
