Thanks guys! I showed the images to a couple of folks and they came back with the term "streaked planchet". Like a lot of terms, I never heard...
I think that's the term... "streaked planchet". [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Thanks Doug! It would be (or would have been) a big change from the usual twelve pairs of white socks.
If I owned a 1908 2 1/2 dollar gold indian, I'd be a little concerned right now. My wife was in Barre all day today visiting family, and she...
Die cracks, no. Die breaks, sometimes. As far as I know, there are no 1886 Morgan dollars with premiums for die breaks. If you post a...
Great info Clinker. Those patterns are AMAZING! Seeing Morgan was brought up, here's an image of Anna Williams. [IMG]
Yup. 1886-P VAM 21 on the Top 100 list (formerly VAM 1B). I still don't buy into the misplaced date theory. I supposed it could be part of an...

Believe it or not, those spots are a "good" thing to some. They're supposedly caused by the original bag that contained the coins. You can only...
Picked up this raw 1886-P Morgan dollar yesterday. Didn't notice until this morning that it has a little textile pattern on the obverse....
Picked this up a few days ago. It has lots of hits on the obverse, but the teeth are cool. :D Scans don't show the color very well. [IMG]...
I have Bower's Red Book on Morgans and like it. I have the VAM book, and I constantly reference it. However, you should know that it is now a...
Sorry folks, but this contest ended a LONG time ago. You can see the results here.
Here's another coin I picked up on Friday for about $20. It's a VAM 9 (actually 9A). It's on the Top 100 list. Even in the baggy beat up...
I got VERY lucky. The coin was under $20 and recent sales show the value around $400. I'm a low budget guy, so this was a major score for me!...
Yes sir!
