First this I did (after starting coffee) was come back to watch this. Tickles the heck out of me.
I can’t snap a decent photo to save my life. But I do love a Franklin. Nice work! Wish I could snap a photo that well.
If you look at that mark. Then look closely at the edge of any quarter. I bet you could match up the reeding (uneven edge of a quarter) with those...
Stick with it. It’s the hobby of kings.... And us regular folk too! It does seem like a lot to take in. I collected feverishly until the 1990’s...
Hi... AT stands for artificial toning. An unfortunate current fad among unscrupulous folks looking to turn a quick buck by damaging a coin.

That appears to my old eyes to be artificial. You will spend the money to get a common date Morgan graded and end up with a slab that does not...
The really sad thing is... This could have been an interesting area in numismatics if it hadn't been completely ruined by the fast buck artists.
I hope I am not breaking forum rules here. My head isn't square today with my dog in the hospital...... I am like you. I am all into US coinage...
Because this is now a dog thread (talk about making lemonade from lemons).... This sweet guy is having cancer surgery today. My heart is hurting....

Yous guys.....
