denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 11/08/2012 2:22 pm I just came across an interesting Morgan at the local pawn shop. It is a 1897 Morgan, but upon closer look , it had a micro-o mint mark. Now I know that the New Orleans mint sometimes used several different dies in the same year and that the mint marks were added to the dies separately at the Phila mint and shipped out to the other mints, so not all the mint marks are consistent shapes and sizes. But this is definitely a micro-o. No pics, haven't bought it yet. Any info ? I know PCGS has confirmed several years of counterfeit micro 0's. Counterfeit or a new VAM. Report this Post to the Staff

I will tell him I need pics and post them. Report this Post to the Staff
