[QUOTE="rld14, post: 453361, member: 16133"]I have some nice Morgans that I knew I had, but most of the stuff that I bought out of dealer bargain boxes and the like as a kid ended up in a cigar box. (A real Cohiba one no less! :) I forgot I had some neat stuff! Well, when I bought them I was 8 or 9 years old.. Found a G 1891 Seated Dime, couple 40s mercury dimes in ok shape, and over a hundred what pennies, some better dates from the 20s and 30s and also a half dozen Indian Head cents. One was a circulated 1883 that is probably an F-VF but the reverse of it is completely blank. Holding it next to a "normal" Indian Head cent shows that it is not even 1/10th of a mm thinner than a standard coin. I assume this was somehow buffed smooth back in the 1800s? Or is it a fake or a novelty or? The wear seems even and what you would expect on the back, not that it means anything I know. I'll upload some pics once I get this card reader working.. but.. does anyone know of such a variety? The back is perfectly flat, I don't see any toolmarks or anything. Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]
