[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 6359022, member: 112"]In almost all cases, yes it is the same.

And when a picture is taken that break in the luster shows up differently in the pics than the areas of the coin immediately adjoining the break in the luster. That's what you have to learn to distinguish. Now granted, there are some times when one simply can't do it with pics alone. But when I encounter such an example, then I simply say I would have to see the coin in hand to form an opinion. To the contrary, I know damn well that's exactly what they are doing ! See my comments in the paragraphs above. edit - also see my comments in post #41 of this thread - [URL]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/what-is-the-difference-gsa-morgan-silver-dollar-vs-gsa-morgan-uncirculated-silver-dollar.374989/page-3[/URL][/QUOTE]
