scoutjim99 Pillar of the Community United States 4589 Posts	Posted 07/02/2006 4:16 pm the coloring of the coin makes me question it like the artifically gave it the color to hide any obscure marks caused from metal working and I dont believe its Au-58 more a EF.. But I can easily be wrong Report this Post to the Staff

If I'm correct, all the dies for Morgans were produced at Philadelphia; there shouldn't be a whole lot of difference between the actual look of the digits in the date. Since they were punched by hand, I can understand differing locations. I would think the 5's would all be the same, though, considering the extremely low number of total 1895 dies produced - 52 for all mints combined - when compared to a "normal" year when well over 100 would be required for Philadelphia alone. I should think the same date punch probably sufficed for all of them. Report this Post to the Staff
