this is a genuine Morgan edge - from the link.

 

My shot at better pics. His edge is not what I thought - looks good so I'm back to a Cleaned Morgan worth just over melt?

 

and it just occurred to me - maybe the dude buying the smokes was participating in the Great American Coin Hunt & released this....2 packs of smokes around here = $12-$15 depending on the brand.

 

newbe errors - I don't know the weight or dimentions yet. Comparing it by eye to one of my Ikes - same diameter & very close to same thickness.

 

The later reverse of 1879 variety was changed to give the eagle a rounder and more convex breast appearance that looked more natural. Again the easiest way to identify the reverse of 1879 is to also look at the arrow feathers. Unlike the reverse of 1878 - the reverse of 1879 features a prominently slanted top feather on the arrow. The difference between the Reverse of 1878 vs Reverse of 1879 Morgan Silver Dollar is depicted below in the example comparison image with the features depicted by the arrows:

 

highly questionable.....

 

7TF & parallel arrows...?

 

P.O. scale read .9 oz - 25.5 grams. It seems a little light.
