    I am a beginner. Can someone tell me how to read a morgan dollar to tell if it is a first reverse, second reverse or third reverse. The book tells me parallel or slanted top arrow. I cannot figure out what they mean. tks

    Howdy beau - Welcome to the Forum !!

    You can see the differences HERE - just scroll down to the bottom of that page and click on the links for pics.

    See the bundle of arrows in the eagle's claws ? Well take a close look at the feathers on the very top arrow. On one variety they are straight and level - on another they run at an angle.
