<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kjk95, post: 838890, member: 2774&quot;]I have recently started the coin hobby and I have decided to focus on collecting Morgan Dollars. I am starting off slow. Nothing expensive. I just recently purchased an 1886 Morgan Dollar with no mint mark. This coin was MS-64 graded by NGC. I also have an 1897-S morgan dollar which was AU-53 graded by PCGS. I recently looked at the reverse side under 10X and 20X magnification and the lettering on the 1886 coin appears flat (i.e. less height between the surface of the letter &quot;D&quot; in &quot;DOLLAR&quot; and the surface of the coin) when compared to the 1897 coin. It almost looks as if the letters on the 1886 coin have less &quot;height&quot; to them. Is this caused by a weak strike or die wear?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
