I recently acquired this out of collar broad struck morgan and would like some information. Is there any reference sites that list how many have been found by year? I found three on line a 1921,1879, and 1884 but nothing to reference this 1978S. How rare is it? Estimate of the grade and value would be nice to know. Looking forward to the replies! Thanks
26.43 is the weight .I don’t have any way to measure the diameter, but I can hold it up to another Morgan dollar as an example
It does not look like a Broadstruck coin to me. I see no stretching at the perimeter. A broadstruck coin will have a larger diameter than a regular coin.
If this coin was spooned wouldn’t the edge and rim flow into the denticles? If you compare with a normal reeded edge the denticles are close to the edge. On the 78 the denticles are much further from the edge.The This first coin is reeded.
The previous weight was wrong.The scale that was used must have been off so i checked on my scale and seems to be where it is supposed to be.
I'm with @alurid on this one. I don't see any of the usual signs of a broad/out-of-collar strike beyond the missing reeding, and there are lots of ways to wipe out reeding post-strike. Heck, I regularly see clad quarters with no reeding, and often there's little or no change in diameter or thickness.
