BRYAN, nice coins:
1st, they are all original luster coins, the 1st morgan:obv:other than slash on face,minimal wear full luster, crisp strike, too dark to see the full coin's face.rev:other than small dings in field between r- wing and wreath, very, very fine strike, also typical die break through united and r-wing to states, also die break from e in united to L- wreath, OVERALL VERY NICE DETAIL MS-63, NO FACE SLASH, MS64-65.
2ND-OBV:also slight wear, very nice coin, full luster, slight toning, nice strike not as crisp as 1st coin, too dark to see better. rev:same perimeter die break through united and wing and states not sure if die break from e-wreath is present(light is blocking view), not sure might be EDS or earlier than the 1st coin, possible pitting from rusted die @ base L-star and one, fields cleaner, very nice strike, OVERALL NICE DETAIL MS-65.
3RD- OBV:face and fields overall spotty and dingy, small marks, also nice strike, most wear than the others in normal spots and overall, still original luster. REV: same perimeter die break, same condition as the obv,more wear than the others, looks like this coin has more gritty fields around L- star and one,( heavier rusted die) possibly a later die state, also strong strike and very nice detail, MS-62.
LASTLY
VAM 70- OBV:ding @11:30 on rim, original luster present and strong, very nice detail, spotty marks and scuffs, cant see R- stars to tell if dbl'd, clean strike, shows wear in normal spots for a morgan, can't see dbl'g @ date, ( dark ). REV:clean strike, fields clear and shows normal wear on wing tips, shows die break @ perimeter like the
VAM 79's-through letters, no rusted spots from die in fields @ bottom, field clean and clear,bottom dollar and america might have perimeter die break through letters, too dark to see, nice strike and nice detail, MS- 62. This is all in my opinion, THANKS FOR THE CHANCE TO DO THIS, BE WELL, MORGANS DAD...
