What is amazing is that IF you can ID the date and get in a PO-1 slab you can get big bucks for it.
There are people who try to put together a super low grade set (slabbed Poor or Fair).

The funny thing is I could never make out even a trace of a date until I took these photos.

I can see the top of the two 8s so I am guessing it is an 188X. Maybe if you can get a VAM out of it that might help determine the date.

I'm guessing 1886 or 1882.

188?, but the fourth one has a shape like an eight or nine.

Try rotating the picture around.

So far this is the best I can do. I tried the microscope, not enough detail to make anything out.

It's a number with a circle shape for sure. But once again, can be a six. But also a two....

Frankly, I'm seeing a 9. From a sheer mintage standpoint, it's the likeliest candidate as 1889 was the highest mintage of any Morgan save the 1921's. The trouble is unless the presence or absence of a mint mark can be definitively shown, it's of no use as a Lowball.

You know what intrigues me most about this coin? The clear - and very recent - bagmark above the forehead. That means this coin was circulated to its' current state of wear, and then bagged with a bunch of other Morgans. It is undoubtedly a member of a "hoard," and undoubtedly original circulation, not some artificial pocket piece.
