jilly New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 09/22/2008 6:53 pm I have a 1900 Morgan dollar that has the "we" in the "in God we trust" that is that is stamped very lightly, not worn down, just light. Is there anything special about it? Image: weless.jpg 102.19 KB Report this Post to the Staff

Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 09/22/2008 8:34 pm The most likely explanation is that this is a "strike through" error. Probably some grease accumulated in the die, filling the word "WE." When it struck the planchet to make the coin, the word was struck very weakly. This is a "mint error" but typically there is no premium for this type of error. Report this Post to the Staff

jilly New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 09/23/2008 11:42 am Thanks for the answers. I have a bunch of coins and no one around here to grade them. Is there an easy way to do this? I am going to ask another question too. 1891 Morgan that the one looks goofy. I am glad you guys are here, I am coin illiterate. Image: 1891.jpg 21.73 KB Report this Post to the Staff
Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 09/23/2008 1:20 pm For grading opinions on coins you can post pictures on our "US and World Coin Grading Practice Forum." Maybe one of our Morgan experts can give an opinion on the 1 in the 1891 you have pictured. It doesn't look odd to me. The toning around the date is a bit unusual, but I've certainly seen stranger toning patterns. One more thing: welcome to the forum! Report this Post to the Staff
