I tried acetone and a toothpick but could get anything to come off. After trying so much with a toothpick, my guess is someone hit it with something pointed and round to make it appear like an "o" mark. I still plan on taking it to local dealer to check out but based on what you guys are saying and where the placement is, it's probably a fake.

I do not have deep pockets but hopefully a lot of time! My plan is to spend maybe $2k a year. Looking at PCGS prices, I think I can get several coins each year (one every couple of months) and still not break the bank.

There are two ideas about buying coins: The one idea is to go for the key dates first. You can't do that on $2000 a year with Morgans. What I did and what others may do is to buy the common Morgans in MS condition since you can do this for less than $100 each. You get experience buying Morgans and get to look at a lot of high grade but common coins. If I were buying online I would buy only certified coins because they are about as cheap or expensive as raw coins IMO. By the time you have 60 Morgans you will be motived to get the rest even if it takes years. I know, myself, that I will not be buying mint condition 1889CC or 1893-S coin in MS condition but maybe AU or EF down the line. I just don't want a VG key date sitting next to an MS semi-key date since they clash condition wise.
