The guy I bought it from said someone had consigned them to him. He had a decent set of less common Morgans. I'll try to post some of the others I bought from him. The others were an 1887-S in AU, an 1892 in XF, and a 1900-S in XF/AU. I paid $325 for all 4. There were some others that I was interested in, but hadn't planned on dropping that much cash that day. I think the odd look of the 3 is a bit of PMD. I'll try to get my wife to take a pic and send it to me so I can post it. I looked at the date closely before I bought it and didn't notice anything other than the PMD just like on the star just to the right. |

Here is the best close-up pic she sent me.  Not the greatest pic, but it was taken on an iphone through a loupe by someone that doesn't know/care much about coins. Let me know if anything looks odd still, besides the PMD. |

Looks like a slider to me.

The enlarged photo makes me more confident the coin is OK. Good price for the 4 coins.

Looks like a slider, I'd say AU-58. $325 for all 4 is an excellent price.

Looks like this coin could have a clashed letter G, can you take a look at her neck. If you don't know what a clashed die is go research it at
WWW.vamworld.com.
Maybe worth your while cause this could increase the coins value a lot!

There aren't any clashed letters. I always check for any of the major VAMs and clashes whenever I buy a coin just to see if I might have anything extra special. Thank you everyone for your opinions. I had this at an AU-55 min. when I bought it.
I'm going to have look more closely at the other coins this guy had this weekend. I just ran out of time and money while looking at them last weekend. Tomorrow I'll try to post the other 3 coins I bought from him.

I'm thinking a solid AU-55. Surfaces look original to me. Nice buy!

Well done. The other coins were nearly free at the price.
