The MS67 Morgan Dollar (Grades within a Grade) I found this post on "The MS67 Morgan Dollar (Grades within a Grade)" interesting and have...
The second pic captures the luster better, which is very important in a picture of an uncirculated coin. The dark areas are a concern, but this...
Yeah, I suggest you review the recent excellent article on machine doubling.
Yup, appears to be struck through a smaller planchet. Pretty cool!
Good to hear that this is actually a well respected dealer. I never said he wasn't, I was just being justifiably cautions and suspicious.

You'd better send those beat up counterfeits to me, and I'll take care of them properly ;)
A friend on the NGC forums pointed out that this has a nice "guido," which is apparently the term for when the coin is improperly fed through the...
