Today's pickups were minimal, but glad to have been able to get up and moving with my knee seemingly on the mend. Traded out some more silver, sprinkled in with a little cash, and was able to walk away with these fine specimens. An 1884-CC GSA Morgan that was needed for my set, although I won't remove it from the GSA packaging but it's still considered "raw" in my eyes, and easily identified as a VAM-5. Oddly, this one's got something going on with "Liberty" and some gouges or die cracks. I'll have to get better pics on the scope because my phone just doesn't cut it. But a CC/CC is nice to add. Lastly is a 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Expo token(?) and whatever a half dwt is. I dunno, it just called to me so I figured I'd pick it up! If anyone here cares to share some info on it, I am all ears! View attachment 1681008 Edit to add (rather remove) the picture of the shipwreck gold escudo. That's not exactly a viable option for me at this time unfortunately. Maybe I'll hit the powerball and can afford it in the near future?
DWT is shorthand for a pennyweight and it is a measure of precious metal weight. If I remember correctly there are 20 DWT per once. Typically used to describe gold weight.
