Going through an inherited collection and discovered this is a Capped Die. Not a big difference in value, but a fun discovery none the less. Thank you all who have been offering opinions and helping me sort these coins.   |

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Bummer. What makes it "cleaned"? Those small scratches in the field?
Thanks.

The parallel scratches appear to be from being abrasively cleaned. Like my children, I still love my problem coins. It is still a nice, scarce date CC morgan.

Ok I'm confused  What makes this a Capped Die? I'm just seeing a well circulated (cleaned) Morgan dollar. |

I agree with VF details. I never thought about calling Morgan dollars capped before, but she is certainly capped. Never saw an "uncapped variety" :) |
