<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2664292, member: 1892"]This one is not a particularly good strike, especially for Philadelphia, and the spot you mentioned is the very_first_place on a Morgan where a weak strike manifests. What you're seeing for "color" there is very likely the original planchet surface - it wasn't struck hard enough for any metal movement in that spot whatsoever (especially considering it's very close to the exact center of the coin).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
