<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jupiter88, post: 2218922, member: 75512&quot;]Yes, thank you HeavyCam, the Chapman proof is the one I was thinking of, it has that mark over the star.&nbsp; Here is what I found on the Heritage site listing (review of an auction coin against the known markings). </p><p><b>Heritage Diagnostics</b>:&nbsp; A short line points from rim to third star, and ends about 1 mm away; two die polish lines up from rim to first 1; hollow around Morgan&#039;s initial M (from overpolished die). Reverse dash between right star and wreath, touching neither; another, fainter, slanting up from left upright of I(CA); a third between S(T) and I of [IN], touching neither; faint scattered die striations around UN AM RICA.</p><p><b>Applying markings to mine?:</b></p><p><u>Obverse</u></p><p>1.&nbsp; I believe mine looks like it has a hollow around Morgan&#039;s initial (see pic below)? The only other one I have to compare it to is an 1887 Morgan Dollar.</p><p>2.&nbsp; There are two lines from the rim, at a slight angle and parallel to each other pointing up towards the 1.&nbsp; On mine there looks like there could be a third, a little farther over as well. </p><p>3.&nbsp; The short die line from the rim pointing to star three -&nbsp; If the third star is counted from left to right (starting at E. Pluribus),&nbsp; then there is a lighter line from rim up towards the third star </p><p><u>Reverse</u></p><p>1.&nbsp; There is short line a little darker in color, slanting upwards at a left angle starting near the top of the I (CA).&nbsp; Starts just below the top of the I vs. the left upright of the I.</p><p>2.&nbsp; There is a line from the top the I of (IN GOD) that goes at a leftward angle up to the S (T).&nbsp; Mine may actually touch the S vs. touching neither.</p><p>3.&nbsp; There are groupings of fine die scratches between and above the U and N, between and below the A and M and above and below RICA.</p><p>4.&nbsp; As discussed above, there is a reverse dash between right star and wreath, touching neither.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]434380[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]434445[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
