Morgan Strikethrough

Picked this up recently. She looks like the Joker from Batman

Wow! That's a doozie!

Or it's a funky mustache!

 

Is that a huge scratch?!?

 

Or a big fat die crack?

(scar face II)

 

Ya know I didn't even think of that. The placement is scary close but hooks upwards instead of down

 

Could be a die crack, but it looks more like a strike through. Really cool coin. Unusual and really neat!!!

 

Are you serious MD? You must be joking as I know you know Morgan's better than that. Hell, I wish it was a crack rather than a wire strikethrough. It would be THE longest and widest crack in the entire series

 

Yeah, just pulling your leg. A die crack like that would have taken down the entire press! Great strike through, though.

 

So...... this HAS to be struck though a piece of wire right?

 

What's your guys' guess on what it would go for raw, I'm thinking $200 +/- Off the top of my head. Does that sound about right? Might get it slabbed. It's an easy 64 and a technical 65 if the strikethrough won't effect grade. I'm not sure if a large strikethrough like this in the focal area prevents anything above 64 though

 

Ah yes, the "impaled Liberty" variety.

 

You probably aren't far off price wise. I do think it is neat. Slabbing would probably add liquidity to the piece, but then again, with error attribution fees and stuff, it would eat up a significant portion of its value. I would probably keep it raw and enjoy it as something unusual and interesting.

 

Need to get it outta that 2x2 for imaging.

Is it me, or did the strikethrough affect the quality of the strike on the reverse? The breast looks sort of absent, but I don't know if that's just the cello.

 

Nope not the cello. That's either a separate strikethrough or the obverse strikethrough effected that area

 

My guess is that it was a thick wire and impeded the ability of the reverse die to produce a full strike.

 

I'm wondering about the mechanics of that in my head (I can't concentrate on nuthin' tonight ). The affected area of the reverse is opposite the ear/hair where the strikethrough is weakest, and intuitively it seems if anything a strikethrough would tend to help the reverse, not hinder it.

 

I had the same thought when I first saw it but that's as far as I got and haven't come back to it

 

Got wood??
