Yea that was one of the original auction/lottery type purchases back in the day, right?

 

@FooFighter
Sure was

 

Yep, they cost either $3 or $5 apiece. Don't remember which.

 

Sorry @dwhiz, but what's the question?

 

It looks like a stain or residue on the obverse and reverse.

 

Yea I enjoyed watching that video on YouTube. It was by that Dr Dude I think. Very informative. It was also kind of funny about the different tiers and packages you could buy of these Morgan and Peace Dollars. Went from $5 or $8 and getting what you ask for to $3 and getting what they send you? Lol I don't remember what year it was but it doesn't sound MUCH different from how things are now, huh
? Lol

 

@Dave Waterstraat
That's what I thought when I first saw it.
Now that I have it in hand I see dirt accumulation. Look from the 3rd star to the neck.

 

@CoinCorgi
Oh my I see what you mean.
I corrected it as it should read

Gotcha. Not sure about vam, and it's stained. Just my guess.

 

@messydesk any ideas on this one?

 

It looks like staining from something having been glued to it at one time. It was, after all, in circulation before the GSA packaged it.

Check VAM 7.

 

I was thinking glue also as I have a Morgan that had stains from glue. I actually boiled distilled water to remove the glue and a stain was left.
