    Sorry for the blurry pic, still new to learning about Morgans. The coin looks much nicer in person, however what that is around 7-8 o'clock by the stars on the obverse? Thanks!

    Nice Morgan. Do you mind telling how much you paid for it?

    Sure, I got this one, a similar 1921 and an 1883 o for $99 shipped.

    Nice pickup, I still need one of those for my year set. One of the few cheaper ones I still need. I don't know which is going to hurt more an AU CC for the MM page the 93 or the 95 (which will probably both be g-vg at best) As for the line you mention between the stars it is a die crack. If you go look at VAMworld you can probably identify the VAM from the pictures/descriptions provided. If you post better clearer pics here I'm sure one of our more experienced Morgan collector types can ID it for you :D

    Thanks! Yea, the picture sucks. iPhone cameras aren't that great but it's all I got for now.

    Nice Coin! Could be a die crack, but hard to tell with the current photo.

    A better image is needed of course, but that Morgan looks harshly cleaned/polished based on the current image.

    I'm going to work on a better pic this week. Doesn't look harshly cleaned up close and it still has some luster. The lighting I captured throws the image out of whack a bit.
