Can anyone tell me on the Morgan dollar, how do you tell the difference from the first, sencond and third reverse. I know the book says the parellel and slanted top feather, but I can't see it. tks
If you have a red-book it sould have a photo... On the back of the coin the eagle is holding some arrows with feathers on the end and on the end with the feather one is slanted... Speedy
Here ya go Beau - I made a big picture so you can see it Morgan Varieties Look at the pic on the bottom left - see how the feathers on the top arrow are parallel with each other and the shaft of the arrow ? Now look at the picture at the bottom center - see how the feathers at the very top run at an angle and are not parallel with the others ? That's the difference
GDJMSB, I have the same picture in the same book. I can't tell which feather is the top feather and I can't tell which is parellel or slanted. Of the five feathers shown which is the top? That might help me. Thanks
