1889 P Morgan Dollar High 9 VAM It!

VfM has already pointed out to me that my notion of die radius is not all encompassing (and possibly just plain wrong), and now you too provide your own evidence to that end, and although I cannot discern the exact features that you speak of, I will certainly take your word for it.... I am no coin expert by any stretch of the imagination Mike.

I do have to wonder though, about the cause for each of these clashes in what I consider to be abnormal locations... were these the results of dies that were basined with a deformed polishing plate? The apparent lack of die convexity is counter intuitive to my idea of what should or could be found.

I think that maybe we are victims of our own expectations Gene.... Dave verifies that you and I saw things through rose colored glasses, and that these things never actually were the way that we remember them to be.... classification was the rule then as now, but we saw only what we wanted to see, (and that was 'the die is the die')..... it was a rather Utopian notion (even for dreamers like us).

I'm trying to come up with something intelligent to say in response, but as usual, I am coming up empty handed....

I agree, good idea.



Again I agree, most excellent images.



I count two times on page #1, but that was good enough for me.



Yes, and I posted it for a reason.



And that was definitely NOT the reason...... I posted the picture tongue in cheek to lighten the atmosphere of what I considered to be a deterioration into argument and hard feelings.



No, the original idea was a great one..... what you are thinking right now is silly.

Bobby, I wish to put in words what I feel on this topic to you.
I NEVER meant any malice or dis-respect in ANY way in my words, I have a strong drive at times and it is obviously taken out of context when read by others, The entire notion of me attempting to be rude or rash towards you was blown well out of context and my original statement was NEVER meant to cause any problems........Please except my apology for the feelings you mentioned about my actions

This is a great venue for all to enjoy the Numismatic wonders and for this I sincerely Thank you.

I'm really upset that my last post was not listed. but you probably are all glad

I don't know about that Gene, but satisfaction is only fleeting when response is made during a heightened emotional state.... I have plenty of regrets that far outweigh the snappiest momentary retort.

hope this replys, as the last 3 failed. think I had dead batteries in the keyboard
We are common allies and adversaries. seeking to understand what its all about.. and Zee you have mail..

What die the lower die say to the upper die just before they clashed?


("Gimme' a break").


What did the lower die say to the upper die right after they clashed?


("You crack me up").

I personally don't believe that clashes are the cause of breaks and cracks, but just some tongue in cheek humor for those who do...
