It's often hard to tell from single photos, but I see clear wear on the high points on both obverse and reverse, and it looks like the luster is...
I can't help thinking that the pareidolia shoe is on the other foot here. :rolleyes: I haven't examined that many contact marks on Morgans, but I...
You know what I miss? I miss the old eBay policy. NO free listings, and listing fee was proportional to starting bid (or reserve for auctions...

I'd never seen this issue in my life, so I don't know what legit worn examples look like. Those disappearing denticles on the reverse right look...

The Zincoln farce could be part of a long-term strategy to phase out the cent (if we believed the Mint dealt in long-term strategies). Most cents...
