<p>[QUOTE="jtlee321, post: 2985303, member: 73983"]Here is a Morgan that I did a GTG on recently. I attributed this as possibly a later die state 11a. But I can't find much on the 11a and was wondering if all 11a's have as much rust on the eagle as this specimen does. The reason I think it's a later die state is that the obverse clash is barely visible except around Liberty's mouth and the faint line at her neck. It almost feels as if it was set aside to fix and someone let it sit a bit too long and the reverse developed the rust. The reverse was then polished up a bit but the rust in the recesses of the die could not be removed. I'd like to get the opinions of the VAMpires around here, especially [USER=1765]@messydesk[/USER].</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.wildlightphotoworkshops.com/CoinTalk/Reverse-Rust-Detail-Max.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
