My grandfather gave me a stack of Morgan dollars about 30 years ago. I never really looked at much until recently. One, a 1880 micro O has the most unusual mark on the cheek of Lady Liberty,a "+" cut perfectly across the cheek. Furthermore, the 'I" in E*PLURIBUS is nearly oblitterated by what looks like a defective die mark. It almost looks like an employee at the Mint marked this coin as defective due to the "I" being stamped out to be re-run and then someone took the defective coin home. Other than these marks the coin is in excellent condition. Anybody out there have any ideas on this? Thanks.
The + might be a mark placed on by someone a while ago. Or just a happenstance. Are they exactly perpendicular?
