rlu7732 Valued Member United States 291 Posts	Posted 06/24/2025 2:26 pm I am not familiar with Morgan dollars as I mainly stick to modern; however, I got this one and noticed these markings on the obverse. Are these normal, if not, is it a variety? I compared mine to this one: https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1887-1/7172 Report this Post to the Staff
