I am very admittedly not a Morgan guy, however I been around the block enough to know that 1879-CC is a desirable date...... See, I plunder around on a local auction site and this one has come up without much apparent interest. So for the informed Morgan folks among us, where would you place a value on an AG-G 1879-CC Morgan? I was thinking of putting a $150.00 max bid and seeing if it may slip by.
Even though it qualifies for the top 100 VAMs, I think your $150. is a max for the condition of that coin. If not for the CC , value should be melt. JMO
Wouldn't those substantial rim dents put it into Details territory? Not a stopper for me, but that's probably making it harder to sell.
I will, as usual, be as helpful and selfless as possible, and with only your interest in my thoughts. So, my opinion is, if you are successful @ $150.00 U.S., I will immediately pay you $250.00 U.S. for the coin. Please, no thanks is required. It is just the kind of guy I am.
769,000 were minted and there are 2 varieties. One is a clear CC and the other is a CC over a CC. The clear CC is the harder one to find. It’s obviously well circulated but it has a lot of rim dings. If you put in a $150.00 maximum bid you will probably be on the low side. This coin should be in the $200-$250 price range. Mine is in a little better shape and I paid $250 a few yards ago. Prices are higher now. Best wishes.
Yeah, I figure it would be a details coin.... But that has never stopped me before on more desirable dates/mints. On paper, I have a pretty impressive collection.... Once you look at the labels, not so much.
Randy, I think you are on target to win with this bid, with the wear, dings and dents it is AG3, around $110-120, but you are only a little high at your bid. FMV lists G4 at $155 and NGC is $150. The spread to the next grade is about $40 to $197/VG8, so dropping a grade back to AG3 is in the right ballpark. I had a 1890CC that was a solid G4 that I gifted to a family member about 4 years ago. Then (and now) it was $110 but had no dents, just straight wear, probably slid across many a poker table out West in them thar days. You should feel comfortable with your bid…imo…Spark
