<p>[QUOTE="manny9655, post: 7532835, member: 112417"]The die hubs used to make Morgans up until 1904 were destroyed in 1910. So new hubs had to be made when they decided to re-release Morgans in 1921. They had to reverse engineer the hubs from existing (pre-1921) coins and they are NOT the same, most notably on the eagle's breast and minor details on Liberty's head. Also the wreath berries. Having said that, though, I compared your coin to my 1921 Morgan, and you're right, the 9 in the date DOES look funky. The left side of yours looks thinner and not as full as mine. Sorry but I don't have a pic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
