Spiked Tail Feather, VAM-3A. Look to the L and R in DOLLAR to determine die state, looks EDS.
At 63 money, Prooflike or not, you're in pretty good shape with this one. At worst, even if not PL (purely a function of the reflectivity of the...
Well, that puts you in a position to have a more informed opinion than, for instance, me. :) Were the dates on the hub?
Like all science, numismatic research is one block built upon the previous one. That's why most of the Micro O Morgans are now asserted to be...
Well, the people who felt they'd disproved it are Flynn and Wexler, the ones who initially published them, after more exhaustive research. The...
To my eye, heavily worn and heavily polished, unfortunately. I cannot imagine it being worth twice the silver melt value (currently around $12.50).
What an awesome piece. I'm guessing the clashing and the die destruction might be related. :) Detail pics from the 1896: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...

Paper-wrapped coin rolls hadn't been invented in the 1870's. They did not appear until after the turn of the century. Good luck with that.
On the other hand, if you know what you're looking at it's a good way to cherry nice pieces at "common" prices. :)
Short of pieces falling off, I don't know how a die can get any more terminal than this. The radial cracks reach at least the rim gutter in 4...
The similarities are what you're missing. May I assume you'll have nothing to do with New Orleans Morgans, since they're known for notoriously...
Here's a good reason why they will be permanent, in the real world: Logic dictates that images will be kept beyond the delivery date, in case of...
Much less than what you're being fed here. I've only a couple hours before work, far too short a time to list all of my disagreements with what...
It was an Ebay purchase. I've bought every Canadian Large Cent the seller has listed in the last five months. He has nice stuff. :)

What do I collect this month, do you mean? :)
