[QUOTE="DpMurf, post: 611270, member: 19039"]I'm new to coins, so sorry if this is obvious. I recently received a 1891 Morgan Dollar CC, and I've been doing some research on the coin, because the eye kind of bugs me. And I've been very curious about it. Do the eyes differ from year to year, mint to mint, or are they all unique? Because I've been looking at pictures and non of the eyes look the same to me. Here are some of the different eyes I've seen. This one barely has the 2 lines on the left. [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/ce/Morganfront.jpg[/IMG] This one has a huge line on the left and 2 semi deep lines on the right. [IMG]http://www.collectsource.com/comsto16.jpg[/IMG] The difference between those isn't very big. But I couldn't find one that is like mine. I can try and take a picture of it but i'll try and describe it. The left line is very deep like on the second coin, but barely has [B]1 line[/B] for an eye lid (the two lines on the right in the pictures above) and barely has a groove at the bottom. Just searching for about a minute I found 3 different eyes. Is this all just wear and tear or are they truly unique when made? Once again, I'm very new to coins and this just caught my interest. Sorry if it's a stupid question.[/QUOTE]
