I have looked all over the web and browsed these forums but I haven't found anything that shares a likeness with my coin. Honestly I am just looking for some assistance identifying what it is. It looks to be a 1896 Morgan, with a gold liberty head and then an all gold reverse. I read over the VAM post and the only other details I can really provide is there is no mint mark, approximately two denticals and no double dies. Here are so photos: (Sorry for the alignment, not sure why they were rotated.) Report this Post to the Staff

CGCoins Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 12/20/2012 11:22 am Its a 1896 Philly Morgan dollar that has been gold plated. I see them pretty regularly. Was most likely made for a jewelry piece and is essentially worth its Silver Content value, as collector value has been erased by the alterations Report this Post to the Staff
rumbrave55 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 12/20/2012 11:28 am I figured it might be something along those lines. You are correct, it was a jewelry piece of some sorts. It used to have a hard, plastic outer shell that I removed and was word as a necklace or something. Thank you for your help. Report this Post to the Staff
