As Superdave said.I'm sure he's refering to a cartwheel dollar. I have seen those mentioned in the Photograde but not sure how to discribe them.

"Cartwheel" is just an adjective used to describe how the luster plays on an Uncirculated Morgan. As one moves the coin under a light, the highlighting rotates much like the spines found on the wooden wheel of a cart. Although the size and relatively-large fields of a Morgan make this more common, a similar effect can be seen on any nicely-lustrous coin with open fields.
I would expect to see this look on any nice Uncirculated, untoned Morgan, although it fades with die wear.

I was referring to page 133 and 134 Partial collar strikes. It states in the last sentence on 133 that they are rare and bring a sizable premium. I found (2) 1884 O's and a 1885 O all are type 2  |

Ah. These are referred to in the hobby as "railroad rims." Quite in demand, from those who like to collect errors.

after this topic I drug out the VAM book and did a quick look through looking for the word "Wagon Wheel" and didn't find it, I guess because even in the sentence mentioned above on the page listed above in my book it states "These partial collars are also known as "railroad rims" brcause of their resemblance to a flanged railroad car wheel |

You found THREE partial collar Morgans?  I originally thought you might be referring to a die crack connecting all of the peripheral devices but a railroad rim is much cooler Edited by biokemist6

I have know idea. I listed one of the doubles with a buy it now or best offer and did not even get an offer so they will just sit in one of my box's. The coins do not fit in a standard hard case as the rim is pushed out a little.
