Wornslick Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 01/16/2012 8:28 pm Checking out E-Bay tonight looking for a 1887-S Morgan and I came across this one.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/1887-S-Unit...em3a6f2f61a7 Now I am still very young in my ability to tell whether a coin has been cleaned but I think this one has. Correct? (I hope). Report this Post to the Staff
