[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7999829, member: 105098"]Do you feel it's been whizzed or doctored in some way? Anyways, to me, I see an AU morgan dollar, likely some sort of funny business going on, maybe it was a MS with some marks on the obverse and someone tried to clean it up, and doctored it down to VF40-AU range? o_O looks like it might have had some work done on the fields of the reverse also. to me the most suspect place from the pictures is between the E and T of In God We Trust, the rest kind of flows from there to other areas. I dunno. I think I'd look there under magnification, then check the other fields (above the motto, then under left and right wing) for hairlines that don't belong. if it's evident on the reverse then the additional wear is likely due to the same thing on the obverse, just done on a larger scale to the obverse to take down the contact marks. Just one, non-professional opinion. also to me, it has that color of a 64 kennedy half that went through the laundry with the whites in a couple of the pictures while other pictures don't seem so bad. LOL angle, lighting, or maybe it appears that way, I don't really know.[/QUOTE]
