<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dbeck22, post: 3110546, member: 90571&quot;]I don&#039;t know if I have a receipt, and I wasn&#039;t really referring to you having a stroke, more to the people with the mean comments.&nbsp; </p><p>As for the number 30,that post says there were 100 coins that were marked with a number 1 through 100.&nbsp; They were the first 100 Morgan Dollars ever minted at the Denver Mint and they were obviously given out as gifts to families and government officials.&nbsp; </p><p>The number on my coin seems like it came from this story.&nbsp; I can tell it&#039;s been there a long time and it also lines up with what the story said.&nbsp; Who knows, I could be wrong, but I do know that it is a 3 and not a die break.&nbsp; When you look at the coin in your hand, and not in a picture(in the wrapper of course) you can see the 3 has great detail to it and it&#039;s not a random die break or die chip ( not sure of the correct terminology, as I am new to collecting)</p><p>Part of the post even says that the engraver used the E on the coin as the L in RELEASED.. possibly because they were tired.&nbsp; But it could be that they were trying to blend the engraving in on the coin.&nbsp; Because it&#039;s very hard to notice the 30 on the lips.&nbsp; They blend in well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
