It's one of the top 100 Morgan VAMs, the "hangnail" is the result of a die gouge on the reverse of the coin on the eagle's tailfeathers. Here's...
Congrats! That's a great accomplishment.
Sorry, but imo the coin's a counterfeit. From the pics the biggest giveaway that it's a counterfeit is the rough/bumpy fields. Btw while he hasn't...

Great presentation, and wow, over 1400 engravings, that's very impressive.
