<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 4897326, member: 101855&quot;]I would go the Whitman Publishing site and look for their “Official Red Book” guide book on Morgan Dollars. I consider myself to be an advanced collector, but I have found lot of great information housed in this series.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the 1881-S dollar you posted, I would say, yes, something as been done to it and probably for no good reason. The 1881-S dollar comes very nice, and there are probably hundreds of thousands of them available to collectors. The light hairlines that you have noted were made by a wire brush.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not a big Morgan Dollar collector. I have collected by type, which means I once looked for coins that represent each design that has appeared on U.S. coinage. I completed that set up to say 1985 a few years ago. Since then the number of new U.S. coins has become mind blowing. I can’t keep up with them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
