1878 CC Morgan UNC cleaned

#1 Unread post by banjotx »

Several years ago I had purchased some Morgans from Apmex sold as B.U. condition. Until recently I had not any issues, but now I'm told by a coin shop that most of my Morgans have been cleaned. Have watched many you tube videos on this about cleaned coins and wanted to post a pic of this 1878 CC Morgan for opinions.

Sadly, I think I have to agree. I don’t think a coin that has been claimed as BU would have the surface scratches and edge dings as the coin shown.
Also on the bottom left of the coin appears to have toning or buildup of some kind, that was cleaned from the top of the star.
That said, I could be wrong. I’m still very much an amateur myself.

Purchased this Morgan 5 or 6 years ago and remember contacting Apmex to question the grading but was assured of B.U., Could have returned the 1878 CC at that time but did not get around to it.
