I got this last week and upon further inspection I looked at the "O" on the reverse and noticed it was high and over to the left of center. I compared it to another "O" on a Morgan I had. The first picture is an "O" centered and the second is the off-centered. I see the difference so don't you ? Let me know .
Vam-5 O set high and left - seems to be. Why does the 2nd picture look so weird compared to the first one?
My comment wasn't intended to be taken negatively. It's just that it's the way the photo looks. It serves the purpose as far as the mintmark is concerned. As for the placement of the mintmark, like the date, they were all hand-punched into the dies in those days. Chris
As far as the coin itself, because of the heavy build-up, would allowing it to soak in distilled water help with getting rid of the dirt ?
