There are some interesting cracks on this Morgan that run around 1/4 of the circumference, with a peak between the E & P in "E Pluribus" & through...
This was possibly the most interesting find of the day, although it's hard to judge based on the low grade (VF-20 or so). I'm only about 50%...
I'm thinking this is the 7 feathers, 2nd reverse variety but am unsure if I'm attributing it correctly. Looking for a second opinion. When the...
Aren't you forgetting the 35k business strikes that were made before the low relief design went into production?
I came across an 1878-S Morgan with what appear to be planchet adjustment marks on both the obverse and reverse. I've only seen those on older...

I took an additional picture. This could be a die crack, but it sure is oddly placed considering that it's a diagnostic for the high relief...

Is the field chatter on this going to knock it into an AU grade? Or is wear on the design elements more important for this series?
I'd either get a 1906 US Philippines Peso in VF or better (good luck finding one that hasn't been cleaned), a high grade 1915 Expo Commemorative...
Just received this (haven't had a chance to take it home, so I'm photographing it in the 2x2 it came in. It looks better in person than the...
