[QUOTE="LostDutchman, post: 923775, member: 16994"]Well, I got to see this coin in hand today. I think that Conder might have hit this one on the head. This coin appears to have had some frosting added. I'm not sure the coin was polished... it might have been PL or semi-PL to begin with but the frosting is definitely different then the 9 DMPL dollars we had in slabs laying next to it at the shop. Here are pictures. These are very close to what it looks like in hand. The obverse is very very PL and the reverse is semi prooflike at best. The stars and letters on the obverse show some major breaks in the frosting. Some of the stars are frosted and some have no frosting at all, some are half frosted. This to me is an indicator of the frosting being added. [IMG]http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/warcollect/frostymorgan1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx54/warcollect/frostymorgan2.jpg[/IMG] I was unable to take the coin out of the holder it was in to examine it for any foreign substances so that part remains inconclusive. It is my opinion that the coin has had frost added at the least and is not a genuine DMPL dollar.[/QUOTE]
