Here ya go - LINGO
NGC is the only one that will grade it in that holder.
David, the intention of my comment was that I was done discussing it with Toad because he keeps on going off on a tangent instead of the original...
No, I think it more likely that the small bit of wire rim you mention was caused by misaligned dies, not too much striking pressure.
Yes on both.
And these are just copies too. As Mike said - "Wreath10e is a catch all category for immitations of Nathan Joseph's post-1906 wreath with...
Not a copper wash - a pattern struck in copper. And it is a Morgan half dollar, not a Morgan dollar. But to the original question, never even...

Catbert has it. Look closely at the pics 900, see how there is a thin wire like edge sticking up above the rim ? It's easiest to notice on the obv...

Ahhhh, but oh how peaceful it would be ;)
Both of the Morgans appear to be nice coins at first glance. But they are both damaged and would be considered ungradeable.
The Peace dollar I would say is VF and harshly cleaned. The quarter eagle has AU details but is damaged. There are two large scratches on the obv...
Exactly - so now you tell me, how do you prove when that coin was manufactured ? The point is - you cannot, not in any way, shape or form. So...
Separate names with a comma.
