monstermorganman New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 01/18/2015 1:34 pm Heres a cool one- youve all heard of the decapitated eagle or the spitting eagle etc etc.. one of my fave morgans is the sharp dressed eagle. I believe this to be a strike thru. Which leads to me to my first question (struck through what exactly?) The reverse has lines all over albeit the same width and depth(sorta). My first thought was grease but thats why I decided to share with you fine folks. One things for sure 2 things for certain. Its a cool coin Which leads to 2nd part of my post. Am I the only one.that names their coins when they have neat features? Id like to hear some additional names for this one. IE: the gunbelt eagle.....could be an example. Whoever comes up with the best name Is the winner and ill crown them numismatist of the month Edited by monstermorganman 01/18/2015 3:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

monstermorganman New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 01/18/2015 4:25 pm I guess PMD is your suggestion then dave? wouldnt the lines be all shiny as opposed to white looking? And wouldnt anacs detail it if they thought PMD as well? Hell I would call it a hobo eagle if that were the c ASE Edited by monstermorganman 01/18/2015 4:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 01/18/2015 4:42 pm I'm not calling it PMD. I'm just saying I have no idea what would/could cause such a strike thru. Report this Post to the Staff
monstermorganman New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 01/18/2015 4:48 pm Oh sorry... I thought that might come up and was obviously prepared for that argument... .... I actually sorta realized that after I read your post again. I thought maybe someone had seen this type error b4.. maybe its a good thing that noone else has replied!! Report this Post to the Staff
