1881 is an interesting year in Morgans. The 1881-CC is a hard to get Carson City, and is value priced! I expect the price of them to rise over the next 5 years. Next time you are at a show, go count the 1881-CCs and the 1885-CCs. You will find that the 1881 is much more scarce!

Minimal wear. Some mint luster remains.
Minor wear. Some mint luster may remain. Still great design devices.
The high end of a mid-grade coin. Spent several months in circulation.
Mid grade coin. Nice example. May have some detracting features.
Significant wear, but all devices are recognizable. Not a bad coin at all.
We like to say these coins served their country well! hehe
This coin has been around the block a time or two! Imagine the stories it could tell.
