...which makes it now only one grade below what it deserves. :P That said, when you look close, you see what could be a multitude of small marks...
It may also be a bad attempt at whizzing, but that won't create the Woody you're looking at. :)
[ATTACH] Bison skulls, shot for nothing other than people had the ability to shoot them. That's what the American West was like in the latter...
I, for one - generally an ANACS fan - don't trust them with Lincolns any farther than I cold throw the building they grade them in.
I *think* that's damage. Heritage has 63 of these attributed; I just looked at all of them to try to match up the die cracks on the obverse of...
It's entirely possible; the images here were too small to be sure either way. Here are the full-size images from the (ended) Ebay auction:...

They damage it deliberately to draw attention away from the diagnostics, or to cover them. Don't forget, this isn't about scoring big from one...
PCGS doesn't even include 1892 in their GSA Carson City Morgan Registry Set. I read somewhere that one each of 1889-CC, 1892-CC and 1893-CC were...
I'm not surprised. It's a good one. The things I was most worried about in your images were the hair behind the cheek and the detail on the point...
HAAAAAAAAAAAhahahaha I love that seller.
I wish they'd just remove the "+" key entirely from keyboards.
*shriek* Clashing in and of itself is too common on Morgans to really be "proof" of much, even with a little rotation added. However, this one...
