    DJP7x0s Sometimes Coins Arouse Me

    image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg This one showed up the otherday. I thought I had a beautiful mint state, toned seated dime. Upon closer inspection, I read the word Grandma scratched into the surface. Hum....

    Whether the seller disclosed the damage or not, I think you would still be entitled to a refund.

    I see a "WA" on the legs of Liberty. Does it say "GRANDMA WAS HERE"?

    I actually sold it to my buddy. He thought the graffiti is the coolest graffiti ever.

    Yeah, some people see things in different ways. I have an 1893-CC Morgan (about F12) that has a couple of scratches in the obverse field to the left of Liberty. It doesn't bother me because it is the year my maternal grandmother was born.

    That's terrible. :( At least it's not one of the rarer years.

    Looks like Grandma didn't want anyone to get her coin problem free, when she passed ....

    I didn't notice this graffiti until I got it home, still I bought it as junk silver at around spot. I think it is cooler than a normal worn common date morgan considering either way it is just worth melt value. May not be that cool on a nice coin though ;)

    The funny thing is that it has a cud at about 9 o'clock on the obverse. It isn't listed on VAMWorld but......Jimmy crack corn......I don't care!

    I think the coin belonged to grandpa's collection and grandma was sick of being of secondary importance (right after his collection :)

    Almost looks like a date on the left side. Looks like a 5 anyhow.
