Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 02/10/2008 3:34 pm This coin would receive no grade. If you wanted to apply a grade it would look like this VG-8 details PO-1 net damaged /counter stamped. She is forever a piece of .900 silver . Metalman Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 02/10/2008 3:47 pm Judging by that M, it could have been counterstamped over 100 years ago, and sometimes these carry their own value...although I'm unsure about Morgans. (Stamped coins were pretty common, especially in the depression years of the 1870s) Since it's not a rare date, I find that coin more interesting, especially if the stamp can be traced to a source. In term of grading by that pic, I'd guess F-12. Edited by KurtS 02/10/2008 3:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
gbchaosmaster Valued Member United States 328 Posts	Posted 02/10/2008 3:51 pm Thanks for all the replies. I kept it because I know anyone could have stamped that, hopefully I'll be able to trace it. Report this Post to the Staff
