This is somewhat of a myth. Proof coins were struck with extra care, and not necessarily struck twice. This could be an issued proof, a rejected...
There is routinely retained sawdust on 84-O and 85-O Morgans. It looks like there's some by the eagle's upper right wing tip and perhaps the O in...
Perhaps it was an early 19th century equivalent of writing "wheresgeorge.com" on a $1 bill. Maybe somewhere there's one that says both "Philad."...
