indian4 New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 04/20/2019 12:27 am If this coin has been dipped PCGS didn't pick up on it. Course that may not mean much. I'm kinda going with spence right now with the Die Deterioration. There also seems to be some beveling around the edges. The obverse is showing the same effect though not as severe. I saw this characteristic on a lot of Morgan dollars. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74876 Posts	Posted 04/20/2019 11:08 pm I am thinking that it's both Die Deterioration and a rusted die issue. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
indian4 New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 04/22/2019 12:25 am Thanks Errers and frog. I assume neither is attributable correct? On some Morgan dollars moderate corrosion may be listable. (Moderate [corrosion] is called 'granularity, somewhat listable when the devices start to spread into each other) Report this Post to the Staff
