skiingdoc New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 01/22/2018 10:58 pm inherited this coin and my research suggest it is rare for a Morgan to have a chop mark. I think I have one. Wondering if I can get opinions from the attached pics. Thanks. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by skiingdoc 01/23/2018 11:29 am Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4587 Posts	Posted 01/23/2018 07:54 am It is rare for a Morgan to have a GENUINE, CONTEMPORANEOUS chop mark - they saw limited circulation in Asia. It's also often faked, either on a fake Morgan to make it seem legit or a faked chopmark on a genuine lower grade coin... -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff

SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 01/23/2018 12:26 pm Graffiti. Not worth any extra; in fact, it lowers the value of the coin significantly. Report this Post to the Staff
Collects82 Pillar of the Community United States 1316 Posts	Posted 01/23/2018 12:47 pm I had such great hopes! Unfortunately it's graffiti and the coin is essentially devalued to melt unless its a CC mint. Chopmarks on Morgans are rare as they are smaller than the 8R/Crown/trade dollars that were the standard for intl trade back then. Merchants didn't tend to want/bother with them since they were worth less than standard. Report this Post to the Staff
