Who knew coin collecting could cause bodily harm.....

It looks indeed like an 1896 micro-O contemporary counterfeit. @Diane Harriet please note this "coin" is not just more interesting but also more valuable to collectors than any common year circulated Morgan dollar.

Can we get a better pic of the mint mark please.

 

Do you suspect it's a modern counterfeit of an 1896 micro-O Morgan? :-O what a thought LOL

Lol. That's possible though if they used one as a die template.

I suspect it's not a v4 but it's kind of hard to tell for sure. Would like a clear close up of the mm

 

That could kill you lol

 

Nice coin, and correctly graded at F12, IMO.

Well, if a coin dated 1896 makes you feel like that, try an ancient coin on for size.

 

We need to collectively ask Dougie aka @GDJMSP what it was like hauling Roman Aes Graves around in his Toga.

 

Definitely by the end of the week. I took those photos with my cell phone but will sit down and take better photos with a different device. My friend @SmokinJoe taught me about his USB microscope he uses which takes nice clear photos. Amazon to deliver soon.

 

It's amazing to me how much knowledge all you gentlemen have and how willing you are to share it. Thank you.
So, I'm guessing this should be one of the coins I keep instead of giving away to my nieces.

 

I don't consider it teasing. Heck, we don't get a chance to talk that much as it is.

PS. Now! How about adding some new emoticons?

 

Be sure to put out plenty of Tostitos salsa and scoops for us during the game.
