I read an article in CW(?) a few months back that was about or mentioned a situation that could account for the look of your coin. In the "olden"...
I'm in the process of collecting a moderate date/mm set of Peace Dollars. By moderate I mean an AU/MS-64 set; basically whatever grade costs less...
Based on your comment and this image, I'd say you nailed it. [IMG]
My 1878-7over8TF Morgan is labeled "Strong" on the PCGS slab. I can't find a reference to that term. I assume it's some sort of VAM variety but...
Here's my setup. [ATTACH]
Look for people from here at Charmy's table (The Penny Lady) around 11-12 o'clock. I know a few of us will be there Friday. Don't know about...

Or at the time of purchase the price was correct but since then the market has softened for that particular item. Prime Example: The early...
Okay, please poke holes in my understanding and correct me. Toning of silver coins is most often because of sulfur. Sulfur and silver combine...
March 22-25 I should be there Friday the 23rd.
Graysheet G-4 Bids: 1916 = $42 1916-D = $40 1916-S = $85
Totally new error type to me. Interesting.
"Would a die inclusion produce multiple coins with the same "error" or "issue" that are identical ..." It could if the item causing the mark on...
