Coinfanmorgan Valued Member 357 Posts	Posted 08/29/2012 3:42 pm Here's a 1902 Morgan silver dollar with a double tipped A in states on the reverse.There are also appears to be either a die clash or scratch near the eagle's talons on the right side. I was wondering what the grading on the coin is even though it is polished and what the value would be on this type of error coin Report this Post to the Staff

dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 08/29/2012 6:56 pm AU agreed, not MS yes, there is some green residue around the area you stated are those contact marks across the reverse or not? especially on the feathers? Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfanmorgan Valued Member 357 Posts	Posted 08/31/2012 4:07 pm The contact marks on the double tipped A are on the reverse and I have an arrow pointing to where the scratch or die clash is near the talons on the first picture. Does anyone have a value estimate of what this error coin might fetch retail pricing? Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfanmorgan Valued Member 357 Posts	Posted 08/31/2012 10:53 pm The green residue is actually because of poor photo resolution I believe. If that's the case, do you know what this coin would grade or is it still AU? Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6383 Posts	Posted 08/31/2012 11:09 pm I see definite loss of luster in the fields which I think supports a grade in the AU range. The reverse looks pretty original but the obverse does have the look of a cleaned piece. I'm not aware of any "double-tipped A" variety but you can check VAMWorld to see if any described VAMs have this feature. It is possible your coin suffered a hit (post-mint damage) on that spot which created the apparent doubling. The mark on the talon looks like a dent to me. Value-wise, unless you have a popular VAM type the coin is unlikely to be worth much more than an "ordinary" 1902 in similar condition. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfanmorgan Valued Member 357 Posts	Posted 09/01/2012 1:43 pm I can't find any Morgan that is close to this on Vamworld. Does anyone think this silver dollar is worth sending to NGC for grading? Report this Post to the Staff
