Thank you for all the wisdom. My question is that I came across a 1921 morgan with excess metal on the chest of the eagle (see detail pic), and I am unsure of what it is. The coin came in a lot of random morgan and Peace dollars. Please see pics. Your guidance is appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Nice that you've taken the leap from watcher to poster; this looks like an interesting one. The images are a bit small for definite conclusion, but I'm of the feeling that this was a pretty poor planchet. The bit on the eagle's chest looks to be a bit of a lamination, and I'm thinking those black striations running northeast-southwest might turn out to actually be part of the metal under closer examination.
