Cool. I've just been reading Dead Lucky by Lincoln Hall.
Guessing it squeaked into a 65 holder.
Notice how the 1 in the date lines up with the denticle under it. Then compare with a genuine example. Considering all examples were struck with...
I'm not convinced either that it is OK. I think I see some raised dots on the reverse as well as questioning some of the letter shapes. Weight...
Crude fakes. No value unless they are actually silver, which is highly unlikely.
I guess I'm curious what kind of premium a R5 is worth on this kind of mid grade circ. CBH. Not necessarily asking what you paid for it.

Yes it's harshly cleaned. I know sometimes a camera exaggerates scratches, but tilt and rotate this morgan under a light, you will easily see the...
Can you post a picture?
Thanks for getting me updated, @GDJMSP , I knew there had been changes but wasn't sure just what they were. I just obtained a copy the other day....
I'd be happy too!
IMHO, the coin market cycles, and popular US series have been dropping for a while. I've been looking at MS-65 walking halves on E-bay, and common...
