The MS67 Morgan Dollar (Grades within a Grade) I found this post on "The MS67 Morgan Dollar (Grades within a Grade)" interesting and have...
Joe, I originally stated that these are indeed fingerprints. They are toning and that is what is making them visible.
That would be my guess as this is basically toning and it is missing from the highest points of the design.
I am by far no expert on early coinage of the US Mint, but this coin has to be XF or better, my guess is high end AU. A lot of these coins have...
post pictures and I'll tell you.
I just wanted to wish all of the fathers at CT a very happy, healthy and safe Father's Day!!! Enjoy your day whatever way you get to, but enjoy it! :)
Not that I have ever recommended any coins as an investment, I disagree. Look at the Clad Proof Sets of 1999, 2001, 2004 and 2008 and the Silver...

It looks to me like a long time ago this coin was "thumbed", a technique used on older silver coins to help hide incomplete strike or slight wear...
I never realized crows could ride motorcycles! rofl :D
that might be the crustiest!
I agree 900. This coin has above average luster and strike. 1922 is a relatively common date, but this coin is a beauty!
ok, then my grade is MS-63. No FBLs. They're just not there.
there's a little something for everyone in this thread :)
