<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim sullivan, post: 3518996, member: 100154&quot;]Hi...So I have this 1896 Morgan I picked up recently at a flea market. It wasnt expensive and I liked the toning it had, but also appeared to have definately spent some time being knocked around. There was a strange look to it but the lighting was bad and like i said, it was cheap. So after inspecting it closely, it is just not the same as any others that I have or have seen before. It is reflective like a mirror. It also has all these little specks on it, which may very well just be additional strange toning. So I think maybe its been whizzed years ago. Thing is i see no evidence of swirling anywhere and the sharp surface gets right into the smallest nook and crevice even of the letters. ( like middle of an O). So i think ok, not whizzed. Dmpl? No cameo goin on. Maybe quick dipped long ago but still like a mirror. So, maybe a circulated proof? I can think of a thousand reasons it could have got into circulation during the depression. Ive gone on vamworld to match up die pairings. Cant get a positive id due to some contact marks thus leaving questions. Other than bringing it to an expert, which I dont have quick easy access to, is there anything else i can check? I have very little real world, in hand experience with DMPL or old proof coins. Here are some pics, of the coin, reflectivity, close up area of the date as there are different styles, and an attempt at a side ish view while shining a light in the dark.. Ill gladly take more if you tell me what you need. Any help would be great!!!! Something special or junk piece? Thank you!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
