I have an identical question on a Morgan I bought today, would it be okay to add to this topic or should I start a new one?

I think starting a new topic would be best.

Unfortunately, that was not the answer of was looking for, however, I appreciate everyone's help on my obviously highly cleaned coin.
So what to do with a coin like this? Any suggestions?
I'm not real sure what dipped or whizzed is, can someone enlighten me?

Wizzed - a coin that has been cleaned with a mechanical process, for example buffed with high speed drill.
Dipped - the coin has been placed in a chemical solution to removed tarnish / toning.
There was a dealer who sold circulated junk common date Morgan's that were dipped and polished then sold as fun coins to be given to kids as a gift.

I was guilty of polishing a few morgans when I was a kid. They ended up looking like this. Looks like it was rubbed down using a jewelers cloth.

polished
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Gift it to a youngster. You never know what good that may start and they could end up on this same forum in no time at all!  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Wow , In my opinion this coin was profusely dipped and maybe or not Polished . I don't see any indication that it was subject to a harsh and vigorous cleaning .
