I could use some help grading one of the nicer Morgans I picked up recently. I'm reasonably sure that this is mint state, but the "guess the...
So true.
I've never seen anything like this before. Why would someone take wire cutters to a Morgan? Was this a rough assay to check the silver that anyone...
Wowza. That's beautiful!
How many pages are devoted to the 1836? Happy hunting!
I went with 66, as these are rarely struck this clearly and the luster is impressive. Trade dollars are awfully tough though & most of my...
Should Die Cracks affect grade? I was under the impression that die cracks are a designation, like Red or Full Bell Lines & occur independent from...
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...
Sure, that's the odds. But, statistics break down when you look at particulars. It's like telling me I'm driving a Toyota Camry when I post a...
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...
I see what you're saying that the spike on the obverse of a high-relief design should stop at the lower leg of the E, while the low-relief design...
And your reasoning is...?
Separate names with a comma.
