Going through some Morgans on a rainy day and found 2 (1902-O's with an unusual area near the mint mark that I'm not sure what it is, Die Clash? Thanks in advance Added pics of the entire coin
Ummm. Same shape on two different coins........ It appears raised on the coins which means a depression on the die. I'm assuming the coins are real. If it were my coin, I would check the reeding against other good Morgans & then look at the books & VAMWorld for several example photos of the mm area. I think you will find that most genuine coins have pretty clean fields except for contact marks. Please post photos of the entire coin(s).
I did not see the first image. I only saw the last two, which were of the same coin. It's most likely a die chip. I'll try to see if I can find it on VAMWorld.
That is a good photo of coin #2. In the large photo it looks like a contact mark where some material has been chased. However, if the same mark is on two identical genuine coins, then perhaps it is a die gouge. Do you have a similar photo depicting coin #1 with the same mark at the mm? Edit to add: Your coin(s) look good but here is an example of two bad coins. Note the repeating depressions found on both coins. It is not possible for two genuine coins to have the same contact mark in precisely the same location. In this case, the host coin had the contact mark & it repeated on every fake coin.
