In reply to Antonio. I neglected to reply to this earlier, Antonio, only because as usual either the next bright and shiny thing distracted me or I had one of my standard aging-related memory lapses. An 1883-CC MS64 Morgan Dollar is nothing to sneeze at, after all. Whether you have it regraded or not, it's a extremely desirable coin regardless; good for you to be the lucky and happy owner of that gem!

In reply to Antonio. Sensational, Antonio! To think these are coins the Mint was ordered to stop making!

That should have shown the reverse of that exceptional 3 dollar gold coin. Here it is.

In reply to Major D. That's a real beauty, Major D. Since I don't covet, I can be happy for you!

In reply to Antonio. My furthest journey to the past coin-wise is the 1920's, and that's a few Lincoln Cents.

The paragraph copied below seems to appear too early in the column above. It likely should have come after the description and image of the 1898/7 Gold Eagle. The Carter Jackson Collection, Part II includes (but is not limited to) an impressive selection of Morgan dollars, in both circulation strike and proof formats. Among the selection’s top offerings:

I have an 1883-CC Morgan Dollar in MS64 grade. I've been advised to have it regraded. It's a beautiful coin, which I bought at a good price. To have an 18th century U.S. coin would be nice but seems out of my reach. I've only been able to reach back to the 1830s.
