I think the purpose of Doug's graph was only to make a point that I've read numerous times on CT over the past 3 1/2 years... that "coins are a...
This happens to be one of those Morgans that is "grade driven", and unfortunately, yours is a lower grade, worth melt value or possibly a little...
I agree... same as the slot machine industry. I rarely visit a casino, but the last time I was there I was shocked at how quiet it was; then I...
My daughter does the same thing (mostly coffee, but a few soft drink spills also). When I pulled them out of the console they were all stuck...

To me, it would be common sense on the part of the seller to show a reverse photo, regardless of whether it's a CC or not. It does add confusion...
Examine all the reverse rays closely. The ones on right of the eagle are completely wrong for a 1928 Peace dollar. Here's a closeup of the three...
