<p>[QUOTE="coleguy, post: 614304, member: 9167"]Great info! I too can attest there are a lot of nicely struck NO minted Morgans. I think what people mis-interpret, is that Morgans struck there are no worse or weakly struck than anywhere else. The difference is that the NO mint used many reverse dies for three times or more longer than the Phily or SF mints, and many of those sat rusting due to the humid southern conditions. So, because they didn't change out dies as often, I'm assuming due to the difficulty in getting finished dies there, the strikes seem to be weaker. But, as a Morgan guy, I have all but one NO Morgan, and all have strikes equal to the best of the other mints.</p><p>Guy~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
