 This one on my grandfather had in a plastic coin flip inside an old bank envelope. When I first found it, something just didnt look right about it. I put it to the side as a common, used morgan. When I decided to being a few coins to my local coin shop, on my way out I picked it up and put it in my pocket. I asked the shop owner if it looked right. He got kind of excited and said "wow, this is a proof". He told me they were rarer then the regular morgans as there was only a few hundred minted for each date. Believe it or not, that was the day I started appreciating proofs. Before that, I really didnt care. |

Thank you. I have a passion for morgans just as my granfather did. He use to come over when we were little and throw them all over the floor. My brothers and I would scramble to pick them up and put them in these giant, porcelain piggy banks the size of real ones. My brothers have both broke theirs but I still have mine. Jeez, maybe I should take a hammer to it and see whats inside
