This was a recent find in a bag of mixed foreign coins. To think that someone would toss an Uncirculated Morgan dollar into a grab bag like that, how foolish!

Unfortunately due to the effects of inflation, the dollar has shrunk in size somewhat. Taking photos of this coin was challenging, but I think I pulled it off.

All the flips I have are a bit big for this coin, so I found another way to store it in the meantime.

I have no doubt this pricless treasure will be graded "MS-71" once I send it off to PCGS, as it is above and beyond perfection.

That's a cool piece. I was going through a 5lb lot a couple of weeks ago and came across this Miniature Half Crown. It was ~12mm. Yours looks to be in much better shape.
