    I went into a shop that said "Buy Gold" and it turns out it isn't a pawn shop nor a coin shop. They buy scrap and sell to refineries, I think. I asked if they had any coins and the eager 'wife' of the man at a desk said that coins just came in but haven't been sorted.

    She showed me a small box of common 90%.

    I saw one peculiar coin though.

    It had the size and obverse of a Morgan but where the date would be, stars ran through it instead.

    What was it I saw? Bullion coin?

    It was probably just a "bullion round" struck by a private mint.

    If it looked proof-like, definitely a round. I've gotten rounds before with the Morgan Dollar design but without a year on it.

    Also if anything says "troy ounce" or ".999 fine" they're bullion coins. Morgan Dollars are under an ounce and .900 fineness.

    Didn't some aftermarket mint strike a controversial Morgan?
