Weird. I hadn't seen that before. Skip, what does SPL mean?
In all seriousness - the ancients guys, or metal detecting guys, have some really good conservation techniques that can help remove that...
You seriously think anyone can identify anything on that piece? It is so thick with corrosion that all we can see is a round shape. That is the...

I think this might be your next option.
Yes, I think you might be confusing it with the 1979. I've never heard of this on the 99.
I've never seen a prooflike arrows or rays, so I don't own one :(
Oh yeah, man. Miller literally wrote the book on Morgans!
That was a fascinating history, thanks!
The NGC photos do not show a DMPL coin.
Fantastic read, thanks!
