mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 06/29/2012 12:06 pm I have found this 1883-P Morgan dollar in a small collection and I was wondering what type of error this is and if there is any demand for this type of error. The crater by her mouth makes it look like she's blowing a bubble. Approximately 7 on the obverse and 1 on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

A long time ago. They appear to be the same depth too. Send it to me I'll check it out in my collection Edited by Mechman 06/29/2012 2:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36912 Posts	Posted 06/29/2012 7:36 pm Could these be from an old nail? They use to be square or close to it. I can see some kid in the 1890's sitting under a tree smacking the coin he just got for his birthday from an uncle he didn't like. Report this Post to the Staff
