<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DMPL_dingo, post: 2300607, member: 75000&quot;]I recently picked up this raw 1884 CC Morgan. Under a loupe, I don’t see any signs of altered surfaces/whizzing/cleaning/etc.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]462279[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]462280[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>What’s up with the burnt tone that outlines the devices on the obverse? A couple specks of the same burnt patina on the reverse are noted. Was the obverse possibly double struck? </p><p><br /></p><p>As an amateur collector, I’ve never seen a Morgan with these features. I am at a loss! Any help would be appreciated.&nbsp; Hoping someone can shed some light (pathetic pun totally intended <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)</p><p><br /></p><p>Many thanks.</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3">PS: That nice cobalt blue hue in the fields isn</font>’<font size="3">t the result of any light diffusion or tricks - looks that way in person!
