paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 12/07/2013 08:45 am Acquired these two 1878 Type II Morgans yesterday and am having fits attributing them. Help "Pros from Dover"... 1878-P Number 1 - Long Nock: Missing Nostril Strongly doubled "LIBERTY" and probably "RIB" Date Placement Fourth Star Intact 1878-P Number Two - Also appears to be a Long Nock..

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 12/07/2013 08:52 am I think they are both 83's. the olive branch is complete and there is not a dash beneath the first 8. edit - I'm not so sure about the second one. The "R" in pluribus doesn't look right for an 83. Back to VAMworld. Edited by dave700x 12/07/2013 09:08 am Report this Post to the Staff
paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 12/07/2013 09:41 am You are definitely correct on the first one Dave. Thanks! The second one, however is not an 83. The nostril is complete, "LIBERTY" is not doubled, date is not doubled, fourth star is broken and there are significant die cracks on the reverse. Still looking.. PG Report this Post to the Staff
