Kathryn34 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/08/2019 8:04 pm Hello I am new to this site and new to coins so I don't know much about them. I was given some after my grandfather passed away so I started researching them a little bit and I'm wondering if I could get some help with what I think is an error on a 1900 Morgan half dollar. I have not seen an error anywhere like this online and I don't know who to ask or where to go to find out if this really an error. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here are some pictures. I have a hard time taking pictures and getting the errors to be visible but if you look at the 2 yellow circles on the back side of the coin I see some kind of imprint and line connecting the letters. Thank you for your help. Edited by Kathryn34 07/09/2019 12:31 am Report this Post to the Staff

Go check out VAMworld to match it up! EDIT: Just saw you were new to the forum. In that case I'll provide you a link to VAMworld for your 1900-O.

Kathryn34 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/09/2019 01:45 am Thank you for the wonderful information and I will go to that site and look. I am really getting interested in this and I have several coins I have questions about. I'm even going to order a microscope to look at them better. I find this very interesting and all the history behind coins that I never knew about. Thanks again and I'm so glad I found this site!! Report this Post to the Staff

Kathryn34 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/09/2019 10:12 pm I apologize for the mistake of calling it a half dollar. I have been looking at so many lately and didn't realize I did that . Report this Post to the Staff
