<p>[QUOTE="MorganFred, post: 28272, member: 1779"]I just FTPed to my own website scans of the obverse and reverse of the possible problem Morgan (I still haven't figured out how to attach or embed an image here, but this seems easier anyway). I used 400dpi, so the files and images are large (about 155kb each, compressed), but you can see it up close and personal. For comparison, I side-by-side scanned an 1884-CC MS-61 slabbed by PCGS which DOES cartwheel nicely and normally. It may not be a fair comparison since I'm scanning through the slab.
